DJ blurb on front flap of Pascal's PENSEÉS and THE PROVINCIAL LETTERS:
|
The two works upon which Pascal's enduring fame rests are Penseés and The Provincial Letters. Now, at last, they are made available, as they always should have been, in a single, complete and unabridged volume. One of the world's greatest declarations of faith, Penseés has given sustenance over a period of three hundred years to men of inquiring minds who are assailed by doubt. Considered a masterpiece of religious controversy, The Provincial Letters are the product of one of the most unusual scientific intellects of all time applied to the humane purpose of liberalizing religious doctrine. |
