Book excerpt: ""This study constitutes a major contribution to the literature on Pascal. . . . [It] should be read by all students of Pascal, as well as by a wider audience of readers interested in the apologist. . . . The serious reader . . . will find an excellent introduction to Pascal's Penses as well as a wealth of scholarly information useful for embarking on a serious study of that great work of apologetics.""--Professor Lane M. Heller, Department of French, The University of Western Ontario ""The originality of Pascal and Disbelief consists in its ability to draw together under a single critical scrutiny the diverse targets of the apologist: atheists; deists; the lukewarm . . .; heterodox eccentrics . . . ; Muslims; Chinese; the pagans of classical antiquity. In and of itself, the choice of such a critical perspective illuminates all sorts of fragmentary texts found in the Penses and brings to the fore a number of entirely new questions. Having synthesized the contributions of the commentators who preceded him, Professor Wetsel goes on to develop a series of completely innovative analyses. He is up to date on the most recent findings of Pascalian research, which he successfully integrates into his study. . . . Pascal and Disbelief both enlightens and provokes: it is illuminating because of the diversity of its scholarly contributions and challenging because . . . it opens new areas of scholarly investigation.""-- Philippe Sellier, from the Foreword Although Blaise Pascal's Penses have occupied a uniquely privileged niche in the literary canon in France for over three centuries, they had long slumbered in America. It is just in the last thirty years that critical theorists in this country have been discovering in them texts rich in modernist and post-modernist readings. Still, critics here have largely ignored the renewal in traditional Pascal studies that has occurred in France over the last four decades. Pascal and Disbelief introduces American readers to the recent developments in Pascal scholarship, particularly the return of the Penses to their original status as the working draft of Pascal's never-completed Apology for the Christian Religion. All sources, including critical commentary and little-known seventeenth-century texts, are presented both in their original French and in English translation. This new work aims to answer a question that has puzzled readers since the Pens,es first appeared in 1670: To whom is Pascal's call to Christian conversion really addressed? David Wetsel asserts that the answer lies in a series of fragments he believes represent Pascal's draft of a preface to the Apology. He argues, based on these fragments, that Pascal's call to conversion was directed not at the erudite atheists or resolute skeptics of his time but at those ""seekers"" who had not yet fallen into hardened disbelief. This conclusion depends on an essential distinction that Pascal makes throughout the Penses between two forms of disbelief, the alterable and the incorrigible. This distinction, Wetsel maintains, is deeply rooted in Pascal's allegiance to the Augustinian doctrines of election and predestination. For Pascal, the truly hardened, incorrigible disbelievers must be numbered among the damned. The ""seekers,"" however, would be susceptible to the shock tactics he employs in the first half of the Apology. By approaching the Penses from the vista of the contemporary study of the history of religions, Wetsel seeks to contribute to a rapprochement between modernist and traditionalist Pascal studies and thereby initiate a new dialogue between theology and critical theory. David Wetsel is associate professor of French at Arizona State University and the author of L'Ecriture et le Reste: The Penses of Pascal in the Exegetical Tradition of Port-Royal.

Book excerpt: The Pensées ("Thoughts") is a collection of fragments written by the French 17th-century philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal. Pascal's religious conversion led him into a life of asceticism, and the Pensées was in many ways his life's work. It represented Pascal's defense of the Christian religion, and the concept of "Pascal's wager" stems from a portion of this work. Blaise Pascal (19 June 1623 - 19 August 1662) was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, philosopher, and Catholic writer. He was a child prodigy who was educated by his father, a tax collector in Rouen. Pascal's earliest mathematical work was on conic sections; he wrote a significant treatise on the subject of projective geometry at the age of 16. He later corresponded with Pierre de Fermat on probability theory, strongly influencing the development of modern economics and social science. In 1642, while still a teenager, he started some pioneering work on calculating machines (called Pascal's calculators and later Pascalines), establishing him as one of the first two inventors of the mechanical calculator. Like his contemporary René Descartes, Pascal was also a pioneer in the natural and applied sciences. Pascal wrote in defense of the scientific method and produced several controversial results. He made important contributions to the study of fluids, and clarified the concepts of pressure and vacuum by generalising the work of Evangelista Torricelli. Following Torricelli and Galileo Galilei, he rebutted the likes of Aristotle and Descartes who insisted that nature abhors a vacuum in 1647. In 1646, he and his sister Jacqueline identified with the religious movement within Catholicism known by its detractors as Jansenism. Following a religious experience in late 1654, he began writing influential works on philosophy and theology. His two most famous works date from this period: the Lettres provinciales and the Pensées, the former set in the conflict between Jansenists and Jesuits. The latter contains Pascal's Wager, known in the original as the Discourse on the Machine, a fideistic probabilistic argument for God's existence. In that year, he also wrote an important treatise on the arithmetical triangle. Between 1658 and 1659, he wrote on the cycloid and its use in calculating the volume of solids. Throughout his life, Pascal was in frail health, especially after the age of 18; he died just two months after his 39th birthday. (wikipedia.org)

Pascal also wrote in defence of the scientific method.In 1642, while still a teenager, he started some pioneering work on calculating machines. After three years of effort and 50 prototypes,[he built 20 finished machines (called Pascal's calculators and later Pascalines) over the following 10 years, establishing him as one of the first two inventors of the mechanical calculator.Pascal was an important mathematician, helping create two major new areas of research: he wrote a significant treatise on the subject of projective geometry at the age of 16, and later corresponded with Pierre de Fermat on probability theory, strongly influencing the development of modern economics and social science. Following Galileo Galilei and Torricelli, in 1647, he rebutted Aristotle's followers who insisted that nature abhors a vacuum. Pascal's results caused many disputes before being accepted.In 1646, he and his sister Jacqueline identified with the religious movement within Catholicism known by its detractors as Jansenism.
