eng	'Love does not act by force'. Simone Weil on love and justice	Simone Weil considers justice to be the basic virtue that concerns human interaction. The way one human being treats another is just if the other is treated as an equal, unjust if force or power is used to achieve the ends of the stronger. I claim that Weil’s treatment of human attitude to weakness shows with unique clarity the deep-seated temptations of power and the difficulty of true compassion that, in Weil, has its source in love.	love; justice; force; Simone Weil
