Description
Pascal's Pensées is a masterpiece, and a landmark in French literature. This is Pascal's most influential theological work-in it he surveys several philosophical paradoxes: infinity and nothing; faith and reason; soul and matter; death and life; meaning and vanity-seemingly arriving at no definitive conclusions besides humility, ignorance, and grace.

Description
The Pensées ("Thoughts") is a collection of fragments written by the French 17th-century philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal. Pascal's religious conversion led him into a life of asceticism, and the Pensées was in many ways his life's work. It represented Pascal's defense of the Christian religion, and the concept of "Pascal's wager" stems from a portion of this work.

Extrait : "Pascal appartient à ce petit groupe d'hommes qui ont conquis leur immortalité sur la terre ; il diffère de la plupart d'entre eux, si ce n'est de tous, en ce sens qu'il ne l'a pas cherchée et qu'il n'y a même jamais songé. Lorsque, enfant encore, il arrachait à la science ses secrets ; quand, devenu homme, son génie s'élevait à des hauteurs o les autres hommes eussent été pris de vertige, était-il préoccupé d'une pensée...
