Pensees by W F Trotter
For much of his life, Pascal (1623-62) worked on a magnum opus which was never published in the form the philosopher intended. Instead, Pascal left a mass of fragments, some of them meant as notes for the Apologie. These became known as the Pens es, and they occupy a crucial place in Western philosophy and religious writing. --(Text refers to a previous edition)Blaise Pascal, the son of a government official, was born in Clermont in 1623. He made an impact on mathematics, science, theological debates, and literature throughout his brief life. Converting to Jansenism, he got involved in a disagreement with the Jesuits, which resulted in his Lettres Provinciales, which are mostly responsible for his literary fame among the Pensees. He is often recognized as the best of French prose artists. He is a wonderful stylist. He died in 1662, following a long illness.
