Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost simultaneously with Descartes, Pascal discovers the logic of the heart in contrast to the logic of calculating reason. Martin Heidegger, 1914, Woodland Paths This new Reader's Edition from Livraria Press contains a new Afterword by the translator on Pascal's personal relationship with Descartes and his intellectual objections to the new Cartesian rationality which fundamentally changed the course of both Science and Philosophy, a short biography on Pascal's life and impact. This is followed by a timeline of his life and relationships, an index of his core Philosophic terminology, a chronological list and summary of all of his published and posthumous works, and the text of Pascal's Memorial, a poetic, fragmented account of his divine vision in 1654. This volume introduces the reader to Pascal's metaphysical works and brings to life Pascal's witness of the dawn of a new Scientific age. Letters to a Provincial (Les Provinciales) is a series of 18 letters written by Blaise Pascal between 1656 and 1657, addressing the controversy between the Jansenists and the Jesuits. Originally published anonymously, the letters were intended to defend the Jansenist theologian Antoine Arnauld, who had been condemned by the Sorbonne for his views on grace and predestination. In these letters, Pascal criticized Jesuit moral theology, especially its use of "casuistry," which he saw as a way of justifying moral laxity through complex reasoning. Known for their wit, clarity, and satirical tone, the Provincial Letters made complex theological debates accessible to the general public.They played a crucial role in swaying public opinion in favor of the Jansenists, while exposing the inconsistencies and weaknesses in Jesuit arguments.Pascal's blend of sharp criticism and eloquent writing made the Letters not only a key work in theological disputes, but also a landmark in French literature. This is volume 5 of the 7-part Complete Works of Pascal by Livraria Press. This volume covers Pascal’s groundbreaking contributions to mathematics, science, and engineering, as well as his Scientific-Philosophical commentary on the Enlightenment's Scientific progress.

Download or read book Plato s Letters written by Plato and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Plato's "Letters", Ariel Helfer provides to readers, for the first time, a highly literal translation of the Letters, complete with extensive notes on historical context and issues of manuscript transmission. His analysis presents a necessary perspective for readers who wish to study Plato's Letters as a work of Platonic philosophy. Centuries of debate over the provenance and significance of Plato's Letters have led to the common view that the Letters is a motley collection of jewels and scraps from within and without Plato's literary estate. In a series of original essays, Helfer describes how the Letters was written as a single work, composed with a unity of purpose and a coherent teaching, marked throughout by Plato's artfulness and insight and intended to occupy an important place in the Platonic corpus. Viewed in this light, the Letters is like an unusual epistolary novel, a manner of semifictional and semiautobiographical literary-philosophic experiment, in which Plato sought to provide his most demanding readers with guidance in thinking more deeply about the meaning of his own career as a philosopher, writer, and political advisor. Plato's "Letters" not only defends what Helfer calls the "literary unity thesis" by reviewing the scholarly history pertaining to the Platonic letters but also brings out the political philosophic lessons revealed in the Letters. As a result, Plato's "Letters" recovers and rehabilitates what has been until now a minority view concerning the Letters, according to which this misunderstood Platonic text will be of tremendous new importance for the study of Platonic political philosophy.
