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.
