Pens閑s by Blaise Pascal Pdf

Blaise Pascal, the precociously brilliant contemporary of Descartes, was a gifted mathematician and physicist, but it is his unfinished apologia for the Christian religion upon which his reputation now rests. The Penseés is a collection of philosohical fragments, notes and essays in which Pascal explores the contradictions of human nature in pscyhological, social, metaphysical and - above all - theological terms. Mankind emerges from Pascal's analysis as a wretched and desolate creature within an impersonal universe, but who can be transformed through faith in God's grace.

Pensees by Blaise Pascal,W. F. Trotter,T. S. Eliot Pdf

"Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true," declared Pascal in his Penseés. "The cure for this," he explained, "is first to show that religion is not contrary to reason, but worthy of reverence and respect. Next make it attractive, make good men wish it were true, and then show that it is." Motivated by the 17th-century view of the supremacy of human reason, Pascal (1623–1662) intended to write an ambitious apologia for Christianity, in which he argued the inability of reason to address metaphysical problems. While Pascal's untimely death prevented his completion of the work, these fragments published posthumously in 1670 as Penseés remain a vital part of religious and philosophical literature. Introduction by T. S. Eliot.

Pensées and Other Writings by Blaise Pascal Pdf

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 Pensées, and they occupy a crucial place in Western philosophy and religious writing. This translation is the only one based on the Pensées as Pascal left them. It includes the principal dossiers classified by Pascal, as well as the essential portion of the important Writings on Grace.

Christianity for Modern Pagans by Peter Kreeft Pdf

Peter Kreeft believes that Blaise Pascal is the first post-medieval apologist. No writer in history, claims Kreeft, is a more effective Christian apologist and evangelist to today's uprooted, confused, secularized pagans (inside and outside the Church) than Pascal. He was a brilliant man--a great scientist who did major work in physics and mathematics, as well as an inventor--whom Kreeft thinks was three centuries ahead of his time. His apologetics found in his Pens褳 are ideal for the modern, sophisticated skeptic. Kreeft has selected the parts of Pascal's Pens褳 which best respond to the needs of modern man, and offers his own comments on applying Pascal's wisdom to today's problems. Addressed to modern skeptics and unbelievers, as well as to modern Christians for apologetics and self-examination, Pascal and Kreeft combine to provide a powerful witness to Christian truth.

Pensées Catholiques by Edward L. Helmrich Pdf

In 1961 at Garabandal, at the height of power of the Soviet Union, Mary told Conchita and the other three girls that “When Communism comes back, these things [marking the end of time] would begin.” The girls asked: “Come back? Where is it going?” Now we’ve seen Communism go, overcome by Pope St. John Paul II and other leaders, and now we’re seeing it come back. At Fatima, Mary said that if the Holy Father in union with the bishops of the world consecrated the world to her Immaculate Heart, “An era of peace would be granted to mankind.” Pope St. John Paul II made this consecration in 1984. But how long is an era of peace? In the Psalms a man’s life is 70 or 80 years, an average of 75. The Soviet Union lasted for 75 years (1917-1991). Perhaps the Chinese CCP will last for 75 years, having begun in 1949. If the era of peace is 75 years long, and if it began with the end of World War II in 1945, the era of peace ended in 2020. Mary also said that “in the end [her] Immaculate Heart would triumph.”
