When referring to Simone Weil as liminar, her thinking would be located at the other end of the radical experiences that she set out to probe and understand. Weil, from an intellectual capacity, would be properly closer to the limen root, a threshold to limes, limit. Her high liminal potential to think about these experiences allowed her to travel through the shady space existing between each clear concept, a journey which, most of the time, will reveal these concepts as misunderstandings or as the only availability to exercise power. Thus, and despite having usually been labelled as a radical thinker, the truth is that her research, based on explorations, did not lead her to forge extreme concepts or to aspire to any form of fundamentalism. In fact, Weil warns about the need to be lucidly cautious of them when thinking about politics.
