A passionate defence of religious faith by the great seventeenth-century philosopher,mathematician and physicistBlaise Pascal was the precociously brilliant contemporary of Descartes,but it is his unfinished apologia for the Christian religion upon which his reputation now rests. The Pensées is a collection of philosophical fragments,notes and essays in which he explores the contradictions of human nature in psychological,social,metaphysical and,above all,theological terms. Humankind emerges from Pascal's analysis as a wretched and desolate creature within an impersonal universe,but also as a being whose existence can be transformed through faith in God's grace.Translated with an Introduction by A. J. Krailsheimer
