Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Intended to prove that religion is not contrary to reason, Pensées ranks among the liveliest and most eloquent defenses of Christianity. Pascal had intended to write an ambitious apologia for Christianity but his untimely death prevented the work's completion. The fragments remain a vital part of religious and philosophical literature. Introduction by T. S. Eliot.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - Great for Academic Study
This volume contains the raw, unedited (but translated) thoughts of Pascal. It reads sometimes like a typical first draft, albiet the first draft of a genius. However, for the average Christian wanting to learn of Pascal's perspective, the volume bogs down with logical arguments and criticisms of the day, and thus his universal themes become lost.
