Abstract

English abstract: Simone Weil does not make much use of the word "Hasard" in her Cahiers, however, when she does it, it is both to refer to a space of possible events – which gives origin to changes – and to provide an answer to this very origin. Weil considers the Hasard theme as one of the major problems in philosophy, one of those topics that deserve further reflection. Indeed it directly involves human beings and offer an opportunity to rethink their condition. Every event in this world is ultimately subject to '"Hasard" for Weil. This thesis seems to oppose what Simone Weil states in the Cahiers, which is the prospect of a participatory ontology, whereby nothing is subject to randomness. In fact, as the article points out, it is necessary to consider the Hasard importance precisely against the background of the Creation / Decreation theory. This is necessary to represent freedom as a space really available to man. This essay analyzes Weil’s notion of "random events", whereby there are three dimensions of the "Hasard" which can be singled out in her pages: first it considers the Hasard as "theological-ontological dimension" (referring precisely to Decreation theory proposed by Weil), then it focuses on the epistemological dimension (as the foundation of science itself) and, finally, it discusses the Hasard as a moral dimension, the condition for the exercise of free will.
