Pensées

Edición de la obra Pensées

The important essay defending religion written by the mathematician and philosopher in the seventeenth century. Despite not being a gambler, Blaise Pascal proposed one of the most well-known bets in history: Every man's life is a wager against God. Still, it's a gamble that any man can win. Give up vices like alcohol, desire, sin, and other earthly pleasures, and you will either live happily ever after or in a different world. You can never lose if you live each day as though God exists.\ Although Pascal came up with his wager in the seventeenth century, his insightful writings still hold true today. Everything is debatable in this collection of fragments meant to serve as a defense of Christianity. Pascal demonstrates how skepticism and commitment go hand in hand by discussing topics such as the nature of love and the connection between scientific research and religious conviction.
