Blaise Pascal,Professor Anthony Levi,Honor Levi: Pensees and Other Writings

Pensees and Other Writings


Description

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.

How women with the greatest determination can make the greatest difference. Strong-Willed Women (SWW) make great leaders. Whatever they're doing, wherever they The Three Musketeers free ebook are, they meet the world head-on--unafraid, undaunted, undeterred by those who tell them it can't be done. But sometimes this passion and drive can be misunderstood or misdirected. Author Cynthia Tobias agrees that strong will can be a negative trait--stubborn, defiant, and difficult to deal with. But when properly understood and channeled, that same strong will is a positive trait--energized, resourceful, and determined to succeed. In this book Tobias, an expert in personality-based learning styles, helps other SWWs appreciate their God-given strengths and channel them in productive ways that enhance their personal relationships, position them for career success, and apply their gifts to making a difference in their church and community.
