PASCAI''s Pensees is widely considered to be a masterpiece， and
a landmark in French prose. When commenting on one particular
section， Sainte-Beuve praised it as the finest pages in the French
language.
Will Durant， in his II-volume， comprehensive The
Story of Civilization series， hailed it as "the most eloquent
book in French prose."
In Pensees， Pascal surveys several philosophical paradoxes：
infinity and nothing， faith and reason， soul and matter， death and
life， meaning and vanity- seemingly arriving at no definitive
conclusions besides humility， ignorance， and grace.
關於作者：
BLAISF， PASCAL （162，3-1662）， French mathematician， physicist，
inventor， writer and Catholic philosopher. Pascal''s earliest work
was in the natural and applied sciences where he made important
contributions to the study of fluids， and he was a mathematician of
the first order. He wrote a significant treatise on the subject of
projective geometry at the age of sixteen， and later corresponded
with Pierre de Fermat on probability theory， strongly influencing
the development of modern economics and social science.
Following a mystical experience in late 1654， he abandoned his
scientific work， and devoted himself to philosophy and theology，
His two most famous works date from this period： the Lettres
provincials and the Pensees.
