Product Description

Pens��es is a collection of philosophical and theological thoughts written by the French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal. The book was published posthumously in 1670 and is considered one of the most influential works in the history of Western thought.The book is divided into several sections, each containing a series of short, aphoristic fragments on a variety of topics, including human nature, morality, religion, and the nature of God. Pascal's writing is characterized by its depth, insight, and clarity, and his ideas have had a profound impact on subsequent generations of philosophers and theologians.One of the central themes of Pens��es is the concept of human frailty and the need for faith in the face of uncertainty and doubt. Pascal argues that human beings are inherently flawed and incapable of finding ultimate meaning and purpose on their own. Instead, he suggests that we must turn to God and the teachings of the Christian faith in order to find true happiness and fulfillment.Throughout the book, Pascal also explores the nature of reason and the limitations of human understanding. He argues that reason alone is not enough to fully comprehend the mysteries of the universe and that faith is necessary to bridge the gap between human knowledge and divine truth.Overall, Pens��es is a profound and thought-provoking work that continues to inspire and challenge readers to this day.61. Order.--I might well have taken this discourse in an order like this: to show the vanity of all conditions of men, to show the vanity of ordinary lives, and then the vanity of philosophic lives, sceptics, stoics; but the order would not have been kept. I know a little what it is, and how few people understand it. No human science can keep it. Saint Thomas did not keep it. Mathematics keep it, but they are useless on account of their depth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
