Pascal's Apology for Religion by Blaise Pascal
Originally published in 1942, this book constitutes the companion volume to The Heart of Pascal (1945); both volumes were formed using selections from Pascal's Pens es. The text gathers together a series of selections, presented in French, which illustrate Pascal's Christian faith and thoughts on the relationship between man and God. An appendix and preface by the editor are also provided. This is a highly informative book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in Pascal and his late thought.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.
