Über diesen Titel

 Compiled after his death in 1662, Pascal's "pensées" (thoughts) are his ideas for a book in defense of faith in a rational world. These fragments give evidence of a profoundly original thinker who had resolved the conflict between his scientific mind and heart-felt faith.

This audiobook begins with an analysis of the difference between mathematical and intuitive thinking and goes on to consider the value of skepticism, contradictions, feeling, memory, and imagination. Much of the value of the Pensées results from the clarity with which Pascal was able to present his intuitive thoughts.

Pascal spent much of his life composing this magnum opus, which offers some of the most powerful aphorisms about human experience and behavior ever written.

Kritikerstimmen

"I know of no religious writer more pertinent to our time." (T. S. Eliot)
"The liveliest, most eloquent apology of Christianity ever written." ( AudioFile)

It may be of interest for a scholar, but to comprise every thought - even incomplete ones - into an audio book certainly makes it hard to tackle. Especially as a lot of thoughts seem to me plain rubbish; Christian scholastic pedantry sometimes becomes antisemitic or antiislamic.

Too unabridged
