| Title | Conversions to Christianity and meaning of suffering - the cases of Simone Weil and Nicolae Steinhardt |
| Summary | This thesis reconstructs the intellectual biographies of two key figures in the history of twentieth century in Europe, Simone Weil and Nicolae Steinhardt. The first was a French philosopher, Jewish by origin, converted to Christianity, author of an original way of thinking theology and philosophy. The second was a Romanian writer, also Jewish, imprisoned by the communist regime, and converted in prison to Christianity, later orthodox hermit and father confessor. The content of the thesis will focus on two comparative aspects: the processes of their conversions and in relation with them, the way they envisage the problem of suffering as Christians. |
