Abstract
«Words that have content and meaning are not murderous»: Simone Weil and the between (metaxy) of beauty, beyond the idolatry of the modern For Simone Weil, war is the perpetuation of phenomena affirming violence in various forms throughout the history of humanity. The recurrence of wars is an expression of the illusion of being able to exert power over things and is therefore the result of the progres- sive assertion of the dimension of the idol, especially in modern times and progressively in contemporar conflicts. For Weil, particularly in a certain modernity, the idol is the out- come of the loss of contact with reality that predisposes «signs» to become idols.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
