Pensées and Other Writings (Oxford World's Classics)

For much of his life, Pascal (1623-62) worked on a magnum opus which was never published in the form the philosopher intended. Instead, Pascal left a mass of fragments, some of them meant as notes for the Apologie. These became known as the Pens�es, and they occupy a crucial place in Western philosophy and religious writing. This translation is the only one based on the Pens�es as Pascal left them. It includes the principal dossiers classified by Pascal, as well as the essential portion of his important Writings on Grace.brbrstrongAbout the Series:/strong For over 100 years strongOxford World's Classics/strong has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
