About this audiobook
Intended to be a defence of the Christian religion, PensŽes is a penetrating collection of thoughts on faith, reason and theology. Unfinished at the time of PascalÕs death, the book consists of philosophical fragments on the ÔwretchednessÕ of man and the controversial schisms of the church at the time. It includes the philosopherÕs infamous wager encouraging belief over agnosticism, as well as his thoughts on numerous other topics, including the great essayist Montaigne and the Stoic teacher Epictetus. Endlessly quotable, PensŽes overflows with pearls of wisdom, each elusive sentence pregnant with a universe of thought.
