Bücher von Blaise Pascal

Una interesante reflexión sobre la grandeza y miseria de la condición humana. Traducción, prólogo y edición por el célebre crítico literario Juan Bautista Bergua y Edmundo González-Blanco.Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), desde muy joven, demostró ser un verdadero genio y a los 18 años inventó la primera calculadora. Fue un pensador profundamente cristiano. De todas sus obras podemos destacar los siguientes rasgos; su interés científico, literario y apologético.Los "Pensamientos" (o Pensées) fueron publicados por primera vez después de su muerte, hacia 1670. Esta obra, originariamente, fue pensada como una apología del cristianismo y, por tanto, es una obra inconclusa, compuesta por reflexiones en los que aborda diversos temas.El tema principal es su preocupación por el hombre. A Pascal le importa su relación con lo absoluto -Dios-, y lo relativo -las cosas pasajeras de la vida humana-. Por este motivo el autor se interesa por la grandeza y la miseria humana, el orden religioso, ético, estético y político de su vida. Su profundo realismo trágico le permitió analizar, de forma maravillosa y original, cómo la razón y el corazón son vías distintas de acceso a nuestra realidad y a Dios: "El corazón tiene sus razones que la razón no conoce". Presentado por Manuel Fdez. de la Cueva Villalba, Profesor de Filosofía.

This 1908 book contains selections from Pascal's Pensees, translated into English. The first part concerns the 'Misery of Man without God'; the second part discusses the 'Happiness of Man with God'. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Pascal and his theological ideas.

Pascal was a scientist and man of the world who came to be a passionately devout Christian. The fragments of his great defense of Christianity, left unfinished at his death in 1662, survive in the form of the Pensees. These thoughts expose Pascal's vision of the world and display powerful reasoning and a profound faith.
