A passionate defense of religious faith by the great 17th-century philosopher, mathematician, and physicist, Blaise Pascal. His reputation is based on his unfinished apology for the Christian religion. 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. Humanity emerges from Pascal's analysis as a wretched and desolate creature in an impersonal universe, but also as a being whose existence can be transformed through faith in the grace of God.
