{"product_id":"selections-from-the-thoughts-isbn-9780882950655","title":"Selections from The Thoughts","description":"\u003cp\u003eIncluded in this volume are fourteen of the fragments intended for Pascal's Jansenist-inspired defense of the Christian religion. Using the Chevalier edition, these are grouped to present a logical development of three themes, \"The State of Man in Ignorance of God,\" \"The Wager,\" and \"The Christian Life.\" This translation closely follows the French text (cross-referenced with the paragraph numbers of the Brunschvicg edition) and does not conceal the fragmentary style of the original. Translated and edited by Arthur H. Beattie, this volume also contains an introduction, a list of principal dates in the life of Pascal, and a bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eINTRODUCTION VII\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRINCIPAL DATES IN THE LIFE OF BLAISE PASCAL XV\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART I-THE STATE OF MAN IN IGNORANCE OF GOD 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection A-General Plan 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection B-The Two Infinites 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection C-The Self 11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection D-Human Reason and Judgment 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection E-Man’s Nature 31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection F-Observations on Man in Society 45\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection G-Moral Values and Justice 52\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART II- THE WAGER 61\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection A-Against Atheists and Skeptics 61\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection B-Momentous Importance of Religion 70\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection C-Christian Faith and Why We Must Choose It 80\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART III-THE CHRISTIAN LIFE 96\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection A-Truths of Reason and of the Heart 96\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection B-Original Sin and Grace 98\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection C-The Mystery of Jesus 109\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection D-The Christian’s Fears and Joys 116\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBIBLIOGRAPHY 123\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBlaise Pascal\u003c\/b\u003e was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer and Catholic theologian.
