The need for roots : prelude to a declaration of duties towards mankind

by Simone Weil

Originally written to assist in the post-war reconstruction of France, this work examines the spiritual and ethical foundations of society. It prioritises the necessity of human obligations over rights to address the problem of social rootlessness.
