Download or read book Letters and Conversations: Pascal’s Personal and Public Correspondence written by Blaise Pascal and published by Livraria Press. This book was released on 2024-05-09 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This newly translated collection of Pascal's letters offers a glimpse into Pascal’s personal life and relationships, as well as his famous public correspondence defending religious and philosophical views. Letters to Family is a complete collection of letters between Pascal and his three sisters (Gilberte Périer, his older sister), Jacqueline Pascal (a poet and younger sister of Pascal) and Marguerite Périer, the niece of Pascal. Pascal's family were accomplished in their own right. Jacqueline was an accomplished Poet, and Gilberte wrote a biography on Pascal after he passed. The Letter on the Possibility of Fulfilling God's Commandments (1656) is a major theological work by Blaise Pascal, written during the controversy between the Jansenists and the Jesuits. In this letter, Pascal defends the Jansenist view of grace and human free will, and addresses the question of whether human beings can fulfill God's commandments without divine grace. Pascal argues that while God's commandments are just and righteous, human nature after the Fall is too corrupted by sin to fulfill them without the intervention of God's grace. This letter criticizes the Jesuit belief in the human ability to fulfill the divine law through personal effort, without the need for grace. Pascal insists that only through God's grace can man achieve true obedience to His laws. This work is part of Pascal's broader defense of Jansenist theology, which emphasizes the role of grace in salvation and human dependence on divine assistance for moral and spiritual progress. This new Reader's Edition from Livraria Press contains a new Afterword by the translator on Pascal's personal relationship with Descartes and his intellectual objections to the new Cartesian rationality which fundamentally changed the course of both Science and Philosophy and a short biography on Pascal's life and impact. This is followed by a timeline of his life and relationships, an index of his core Philosophic terminology, a chronological list and summary of all of his published and posthumous works, and the text of Pascal's Memorial, a poetic, fragmented account of his divine vision in 1654. This extra material introduces the reader to Pascal's metaphysical works and brings to life Pascal's witness of the dawn of a new Scientific age. This is volume 2 of the 7-part Complete Works of Pascal by Livraria Press. This volume covers Pascal’s groundbreaking contributions to mathematics, science, and engineering, as well as his Scientific-Philosophical commentary on the Enlightenment's Scientific progress. This volume contains: 1643: Letters to Family 1649: Letter on the Death of Pascal the Father 1656: Letter on the Possibility of Accomplishing God’s Commandments

Book excerpt: Groundbreaking, ingenious and devastatingly clear, Keith Ward’s Pascal’s Fire is guaranteed to reignite the timeless dispute of whether scientific advancement threatens religious belief. Turning the conventional debate on its head, Ward suggests that the existence of God is actually the best starting-point for a number of the most famous scientific positions. From quantum physics to evolution, the suggestion of an ‘ultimate mind’ adds a new dimension to scientific thought, enhancing rather than detracting from its greatest achievements. Also responding to potential criticisms that his ultimate mind is unrecognisable as the God of Abraham, Ward examines our most fundamental beliefs in a new light. Emerging with a conception of God that is consistent with both science and the world’s major faiths, this ambitious project will fascinate believers and sceptics alike.

Download or read book Designing Experiments & Games of Chance written by William R. Shea and published by Science History Publications/USA. This book was released on 2003 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "During his comparatively brief life (he died at thirty-nine, the age Mozart was to die) Blaise Pascal devoted his unusual talents to mathematics, physics and religion. His religious views are still widely discussed, and the general interest in this aspect of his life may be responsible for the fact that his mathematical and scientific achievements are less known. Those who are familiar with his Pensées, which are fragments of an intended Apology for Christianity, have had little opportunity of acquiring a just appreciation of the originality of his thought in physics and probability theory. This book fills this gap by describing Pascal’s work in a way that is accessible to anyone interested in his contribution to modern science and his attempt to tame Lady Luck. The words “Unconventional Science” in the subtitle of the book are meant as a reminder of the radically different way of looking at nature that was developed by Pascal and his contemporaries. The first seven chapters examine Pascal’s ingenious experiments to show that a vacuum can be produced, an idea that led him to ascend a mountain with a barometer to prove that we lived submerged under a sea of air. Chapter eight considers his bold views on the advancement of science and religion, and chapter nine his new philosophy of experimental science. The concluding chapters offer an insight into his pioneering work in the theory of probability and his willingness to help a friend who was a keen gambler but no mathematician. Pascal even applied his calculation of the odds at games of chance to the problem of personal destiny and the existence of God. Walking in his footsteps, the reader not only discovers the new world of experimental science but learns to play for high stakes."--Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of Blaise Pascal's defence of Christian belief in the Pensées. Michael Moriarty aims to expound--and in places to criticize--what he argues is a coherent and original apologetic strategy. Setting out the basic philosophical and theological presuppositions of Pascal's project, the present volume draws the distinction between convictions attained by reason and those inspired by God-given faith. It also presents Pascal's view of the contradictions within human nature, between the 'wretchedness' (our inability to live the life of reason, to attain secure and durable happiness) and the 'greatness' (the power of thought, manifested in the very awareness of our wretchedness). His mind-body dualism and his mechanistic conception of non-human animals are discussed. Pascal invokes the biblical story of the Fall and the doctrine of original sin as the only credible explanation of these contradictions. His analysis of human occupations as powered by the twin desire to escape from painful thoughts and to gratify one's vanity is subjected to critical examination, as is his conception of the self and self-love. Pascal argues that just as Christianity propounds the only explanation for the human condition, so it offers the only kind of happiness that would satisfy our deepest longings. He thus reasons that we have an interest in investigating its truth-claims as rooted in the Bible and in history. The closing chapters of this book discuss Pascal's view of Christian morality and the famous 'wager' argument for opting in favour of Christian belief.
