For much of his life Pascal (1623-62) worked on a magnum opus which was never published in its intended form. Instead, he left a mass of fragments, some of them meant as notes for the Apologie. These were to become known as the Pensees, and they occupy a crucial place in Western philosophy and religious writing. Pascal's general intention was to confound scepticism about metaphysical questions. Some of the Pensees are fully developed literary reflections on the human condition,, some contradict others, and some remain jottings whose meaning will never be clear. The most important are among the most powerful aphorisms about human experience and behaviour ever written in any language. This translation is the only one based on the Pensees as Pascal left them. It includes the principal dossiers classified by Pascal, as well as the essential portion of the important Writings on Grace. A detailed thematic index gives access to Pascal's areas of concern, while the selection of texts and the introduction help to show why Pascal changed the plan of his projected work before abandoning the book he might have written.

評分这本书几乎就是在我意识混乱的情况下入手的,但是他却带我走出了那段意识混乱的时期。 帕斯卡尔是伟大的,他要求自己有一种自圆其说的伟大能力,做一个360°都无懈可击的理论者,他可以为他所有的错误都归结为:思想作祟。我不知道是不是我在这段特殊的时期才有这样有点畸形的...
評分好几年前的时候曾经翻译过一个美国学者Grotius写的一本小册子《帕斯卡尔》,印象中那本书写得并不太好,Grotius是个基督徒,对帕斯卡尔的同情和敬仰虽是真诚,无奈却似乎无力刻画当代思想和文化的基本轮廓,因此也就无法有力地呈现帕斯卡尔思想的相关性和动人之处了。 ...
