  Article:   SIMONE WEIL’S ROAD TO GOD THROUGH BEAUTY.

Authors:  KRISZTIÁN VINCZE. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  The Christian art played a crucial role in Simone Weil’s conversion. Her refined sense of beauty was often in raptures guiding her closer to God as a result. Weil discovered beauty primarily in nature and subsequently in works of art. She also came to appreciate it in other people, church services and the virtues taught by Jesus Christ. She would transfer all these experiences and revelations into spiritual and ethical dimensions along the lines of Kantian and Platonic philosophy and aesthetics.
