About this product

Product Information

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 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. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

    pieces of pascal, a pinch here and there

    How can anyone only give Pascal 3 stars? Basically, this has to do with general accessibility. A philosophy student would be better apt to make sense of this book. Surely Pascal is a genius, but the amassing of his final notes makes this a difficult read. Sure, he is quote-worthy, but they are few and far between. This book is very, very disjointed, like skimming over someone's class notes. Ideas are in point-form and situated all over the place. The book has no flow, making the author's train of thought difficult to trace. If you are a student of theology, you will find some of his ideas helpful. He is a deep thinker who puts an interesting spin on commonly held explanations. This book would be good for apologists, not to mention philosophy students of course.
