This article aims to challenge the long-standing scholarly accusations of Simone Weil’s alleged Gnostic tendencies, arguing that her thought rigorously rejects any form of ontological dualism or epistemological dichotomy, and contending to position her within the continuum of Christian thought, particularly the Catholic tradition. In the second part of the argument, I present Weil’s hermeneutical reconstruction of spiritual history and argue that her advocacy of intellectual individualism does not originate from a cryptic Gnostic perspective but rather represents an attempt to reinterpret Christ’s love in response to the profound challenges of her time. This reinterpretation may be imperfect yet possessing sincerity.
