Download or read book Studies in Pascal s Ethics written by A.W. Baird and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of these studies is to show how Pascal's moral outlook reflects the influence on his thought of the basic doctrine of the three orders. This does not mean that an attempt is made to classify all Pascal's moral judgements in order to relate them to that doctrine. The intention is rather to dIstinguish the different moral stances Pascal takes, and to ascertain how far the apparent inconsistencies between them can be explained, if not reconciled, in the light of the orders. It is made clear at the outset how the three orders form the framework of Pascal's scale of values, with the different orders representing at once categories of moral value and orders of being. The peculiar nature of this scale, in which moral and ontological values coalesce, calls for a double criterion, or variable, to allow for differences both of degree and of kind. Since the criterion of rank in the scale is reality, the assigning of value becomes largely a question of perspective: a quality from a given order taken by itself is real, and has moral value, but when compared with a quality from a higher order it loses both its reality and its worth.

Book excerpt: Published in 1950: The Penseés 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.

Book excerpt: Découvertes à travers la méditation La vérité ultime reste et restera toujours le VIDE SILENCIEUX de la méditation, elle sera toujours le vide parce qu'il est immuable et éternel. Je ne demande pas à la lectrice ou au lecteur de croire ou d'accepter ce que j'énonce dans les pages de ce livre, bien au contraire. La chercheuse ou le chercheur se doit d'être critique, de questionner et de ne croire que ce qu'elle ou il expérimente intérieurement. Seule la méditation apporte la vérité! __________________________________________________________________ À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Au cours de sa carrière Julien Bouchard a parcouru pendant près de 45 ans des dizaines de pays tant en Asie méridionale, Moyen-Orient, Afrique, Amérique du Sud, Amérique central, etc. Tous ces voyages, en plus d'être effectués à des fins professionnelles. Étaient également sujets de recherche philosophique et spirituelle, en Inde, dans le nord du Népal particulièrement. À ses débuts il fréquentait les ashrams de l'Inde et les lamaseries du nord du Népal où il reçut certaines initiations philosophiques bouddhistes. Il recherchait intensément une méthode simple, la méthode de méditation la plus pure et la moins altérées par le temps et les gens. Pour cela il a dû effectuer des recherches qui l'ont amené à remonter dans le temps et finalement, lors d'un voyage dans le nord du Népal, il rencontra un moine ermite, maître de l'école Kagyûtpa (une adepte de la succession apostolique). L'enseignement de ce guide reposait sur le MahaMudra (le Grand Symbole). Une des plus anciennes et des plus pures forme de méditation connues à ce jour. C'est après toutes ces années d'étude, de recherche, de réflexion et de méditation que Julien a écrit ce livre suite à son désir de partager avec les sincères chercheuses et chercheurs de vérité les résultats de ses efforts pour atteindre un niveau plus élevé de compréhension de la vie, de l'humanité et finalement de lui-même.

Download or read book Discourses of the Fall written by Sara E. Melzer and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Here is a unique and penetrating postmodernist invitation to reread Pascal's Pensées. With a full control on two centuries of Pascalian hermeneutics, Sara Melzer leads her readers into a passionate quest far beyond the worn-out search for a paleontological reconstruction of the Pensées's hypothetical final form. She rightly and deeply understands Pascal's writing--écriture--as the complex story of the "Fall of Truth into language." Such a perspective gives to Pascal's fragments a rejuvenated life, a newness, a dramatic and powerful voice for our own culture. In brief, a welcome breeze of fresh air in the Pascalian world!"--Edouard Morot-Sir, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "By approaching Pascal's Pensées from the point of view of contemporary critical theory, Melzer sheds new light on this well-known work. Her argument is clear, lucid, and cogent. She has a firm grasp of the major issues at stake in debates among literary critics. I think this is an important work that will be of interest not only to Pascal specialists but also to people who work in the general area of literary theory. . . . One of the genuine strengths of the book is the author's ability to discern the theological implications of issues that preoccupy literary theorists. This is particularly important at a time when students of theology and religion are becoming more and more interested in literary theory. They will find this analysis of Pascal very suggestive."--Mark Taylor, Williams College
