"Pascal, the admirable logician of Christianity"
Freidrich Nietzsche
This newly translated collection presents Pascal's philosophical reflections on persuasion, human greatness, and the complexity of emotions. This new Reader's Edition from Livraria Press contains a new Afterword by the translator on Pascal's personal relationship with Descartes and his intellectual objections to the new Cartesian rationality which fundamentally changed the course of both Science and Philosophy and a short biography on Pascal's life and impact. This is followed by a timeline of his life and relationships, an index of his core Philosophic terminology, a chronological list and summary of all of his published and posthumous works, and the text of Pascal's Memorial, a poetic, fragmented account of his divine vision in 1654. This extra material introduces the reader to Pascal's metaphysical works and brings to life Pascal's witness of the dawn of a new Scientific age. This is volume 4 of the 7-part Complete Works of Pascal by Livraria Press. This volume covers Pascal's groundbreaking contributions to mathematics, science, and engineering, as well as his Scientific-Philosophical commentary on the Enlightenment's Scientific progress. This volume contains: 1660: The Art of Persuasion
1660: Three Discourses on the Condition of the Great
1662: A Speech in Which We Show That There Is No Necessary Relationship Between Possibility and Power
1643: Discourse on the Passions of Love
