KANT IN THE GENESIS OF SIMONE WEIL'S CONCEPTION OF TIME

The question of time is one of the most important subjects in Simone Weil's philosophy. Indeed, time's issue is intensively present in her works from her earlier texts until her last writings (1943). This can be explained by the fact that, for this author, it is through time that we can access to reality and find any sense into the latter. That being said, our goal is to show that, if certainly it can be affirmed that S. Weil's conception of time in her maturity years is constructed from a spiritual, mystic and religious perspective, at the opposite, in her first period (1925-1931), the philosopher settles her views through an ontology strong influenced by Kant, which conducts her to limited temporal matters into the frame of possible experience, according to the definition of this expression given by the German thinker.
