Pensee

Book •
Pensées is a collection of Pascal's philosophical and theological reflections on the nature of humanity and the existence of God. The work explores themes such as the limitations of reason, the search for meaning, and the human condition.

Pascal argues that humans are caught between the finite and the infinite, and that only through faith in God can they find true happiness.

He famously introduces the concept of Pascal's Wager, suggesting that it is rational to believe in God because the potential rewards outweigh the risks.

The Pensées is considered a masterpiece of Christian apologetics and provides profound insights into the human search for meaning and purpose.
