The Thoughts of Blaise Pascal
The Thoughts of Blaise Pascal, translated by C. Kegan Paul from the text established by Auguste Molinier and published in 1885, presents the notes Pascal left for an apology for the Christian religion, unfinished at his death in 1662. Arranged in two parts, on the misery of man without God and the happiness of man with God, they include the meditations on man's disproportion between the infinite and nothingness, on diversion, imagination, justice and custom, and the famous wager, followed by reflections on the Jewish people, the prophecies, miracles, Jesus Christ, the Jesuits and Jansenists, and style. Brief, piercing fragments make it a lasting classic of religious thought. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
