Book Reviews of Pensï¿1/2es and Other Writings (Oxford World's Classics)
Book Review: Amazing Insights
Summary: 5 Stars
I had checked this book out from the local library having read some excerpts included in a college magazine. I have not been disappointed. Pascal has amazing insight and perspective into humanity. This book is for the "thinker."
Summary of Pensï¿1/2es and Other Writings (Oxford World's Classics)
For much of his life, Pascal (1623-62) worked on a magnum opus which was never published in the form the philosopher intended. Instead, Pascal left a mass of fragments, some of them meant as notes for the Apologie. These became known as the Pens�es, and they occupy a crucial place in Western philosophy and religious writing. This translation is the only one based on the Pens�es as Pascal left them. It includes the principal dossiers classified by Pascal, as well as the essential portion of his important Writings on Grace.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
