TL;DRAbstract
In this chapter I shall discuss Simone Weil's account of the natural world as an order of necessary relations. The main problem here is to see how the conception of an “order” in that sense is related to the “order” involved in human behaviour, and in particular to the ordered sequence of operations which constitutes a “method.” This will involve some consideration of what she says about the formation of mathematical concepts and their application.
