Blaise Pascal, the precociously brilliant contemporary of Descartes, was a gifted mathematician and physicist, but it is his unfinished apologia for the Christian religion upon which his reputation now rests.
The Pense s is a collection of philosophical fragments, notes and essays in which Pascal explores the contradictions of human nature in psychological, social, metaphysical and-above all-theological terms.
Mankind emerges from Pascals analysis as a wretched and desolate creature within an impersonal universe, but who can be transformed through faith in Gods grace.
This masterly translation conveys Pascals disarmingly personal tone and captures all the fire and passion of the original.
Also contained in this volume are a comparison between different editions, appendices and a bibliography.
