Book excerpt: Excerpt from Les Pensees de PascalLa vie de Pascal. - Blaise Pascal naquit a Clermont-Ferrand, e 19 juin 1623, d une famille de bonne noblesse de rohe. Son pere, Etienne Pascal, etait president de la cour des aides, riche, croyant, d' une grande science accompagnee d un raisonnement fort net et fort puissant, tres verse dans les sciences mathematiques, lie avec Roberval, Mersenne et d'autres savants. dont les reunions furent le berceau de l Academie des sciences. Veuf en 1626, Etienne Pascal, se voyant seul, s'appliqua plus fortement au soin de sa famille; et comme il n avait point d'autre sils que celui-la, cette qualite de ils unique, et les grandes marques d esprit qu il reconnut dans cet enfant, lui donnerent une si grande affection pour lui, qu il ne put se resoudre a commettre son education a un autre, et se resolut des lors a l instruire lui-meme. En 1631, il vend sa charge, quitte la province et vient se fixer a Paris: le jeune Blaise Pascal n avait alors que huit ans, mais deja son esprit, d une effrayante precocite, toujours tenu audes sus de son ouvrage, annoncait un penseur et un savant: des son enfance, il ne pouvait se rendre qu a ce qui lui paraissait vrai evidemment. A douze ans, il fait un traite sur les sons, qui fut trouve tout a fait bien raisonne, cl avec des barres et des ronds, surune simple definition qui lui fut donnee de la geometrie, il retrouve les trente-deux premieres propositions d Euclide; a seize ans, il compose un traite des coniques, qui passa pour un si grand effort d esprit, qu on disait que depuis Archimede on n'avait rien vu de cette force; il fut remarque par Descartes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: "Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true," declared Pascal in his Penseés. "The cure for this," he explained, "is first to show that religion is not contrary to reason, but worthy of reverence and respect. Next make it attractive, make good men wish it were true, and then show that it is." Motivated by the 17th-century view of the supremacy of human reason, Pascal (1623–1662) intended to write an ambitious apologia for Christianity, in which he argued the inability of reason to address metaphysical problems. While Pascal's untimely death prevented his completion of the work, these fragments published posthumously in 1670 as Penseés remain a vital part of religious and philosophical literature. Introduction by T. S. Eliot.

Download or read book Pens s written by Blaise Pascal and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 1995-12 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 Penseés is a collection of philosohical fragments, notes and essays in which Pascal explores the contradictions of human nature in pscyhological, social, metaphysical and - above all - theological terms. Mankind emerges from Pascal's analysis as a wretched and desolate creature within an impersonal universe, but who can be transformed through faith in God's grace.

Download or read book Pens es and Other Writings written by Blaise Pascal and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1995 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For much of his life Pascal (1623-62) worked on a magnum opus which was never published in its intended form. Instead, he left a mass of fragments, some of them meant as notes for the Apologie. These were to become known as the Pensees, and they occupy a crucial place in Western philosophy and religious writing. Pascal's general intention was to confound scepticism about metaphysical questions. Some of the Pensees are fully developed literary reflections on the human condition, some contradict others, and some remain jottings whose meaning will never be clear. The most important are among the most powerful aphorisms about human experience and behavior ever written in any language. This translation is the only one based on the Pensees as Pascal left them. It includes the principal dossiers classified by Pascal, as well as the essential portion of the important Writings on Grace. A detailed thematic index gives access to Pascal's areas of concern, while the selection of texts and the Introduction help to show why Pascal changed the plan of his projected work before abandoning the book he might have written.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Puissances de Pascal A grandeur de Pascal n'est pas dans l'intelligence, si grande soit la sienne; mais d'avoir l'âme si intense et si nue. J'y touche ce qui le sépare de ceux mème qui l'admirent le plus ils le saisissent mal n'étant pas à l'échelle. C'est pour eux qu'il est sceptique. Ils le voient toujours comme il eût été, s'il vivait parmi eux. Pascal a eu tant d'avenir dans la pensée, qu'en effet nous l'avons encore au milieu de nous. Spinosa esttout de mème, àl'autre pôle de la sphère. Pascal vous semble douter dans le trouble et les tourments il n'est que brû lant à l'excès; et vous ne pouvez souffrirle brasier de cette âme. Et Spinosa, qui vous paraît si calme vous ne sentez pas comme il est impassible et glacial, mortellement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pascal's Pensees by Blaise Pascal It might seem that about Blaise Pascal, and about the two works on which his fame is founded, everything that there is to say had been said. The details of his life are as fully known as we can expect to know them; his mathematical and physical discoveries have been treated many times; his religious sentiment and his theological views have been discussed again and again; and his prose style has been analysed by French critics down to the finest particular. But Pascal is one of those writers who will be and who must be studied afresh by men in every generation. It is not he who changes, but we who change. It is not our knowledge of him that increases, but our world that alters and our attitudes towards it. The history of human opinions of Pascal and of men of his stature is a part of the history of humanity. That indicates his permanent importance. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
