| Summary: | Simone Weil's texts devoted to Greek culture, reread as the source of Christianity and pre-Christian intuition, pose two questions: firstly, the relationship between the Jewish and Greek elements of the Scriptures; secondly, the relationship between metaphysical concepts and those present in the Bible. The underlying question, of course, touches on the uniqueness and the universal nature of the Revelation, the absolute truth it contains, and therefore the reality of faith. The criticism levelled at Simone Weil by E. Lévinas offers an opportunity to consider the philosopher's point of view. Lévinas puts forward the suggestion that we are in the presence of a two-way conditioning, between that of the subject and that of God, but he fails to carry out this proposal due to an approach which upholds and maintains the form of indeterminate otherness for transcendence. The perspective offered by Simone Weil appears more comprehensive and radically christological, as it underlines the fact that man cannot pertain to a state of transcendence as his original condition and without this totality there is no real act. Weil's thought represents an original contribution towards overcoming mutual opposition between the two paradigms and directs us towards a Christologically-oriented "philosophical theology" able to justify the relevance of the philosophical element of faith.
