Synopsis
Excerpt from The Thoughts of Blaise Pascal: Translated From the Text of M. Auguste Molinier
Lejr them at least learn what is the Religion they assail, before they assail it. If this religion claimed to have a clear view of God, and to possess it openly and unveiled, then to say that we see nothing in the world which manifests him with this clearness would be to assail it. But since on the contrary it affirms that men are in darkness and estranged from God, that he has hidden himself from their knowledge, that the very name he has given himselfin the Scriptures is Dem abscondx'tw; and if indeed it aims equally at establishing these two points, that God has set in the Church evident notes to enable those who seek him in sincerity to recognise him, and that he has nevertheless so concealed them that he can onlybe perceived by those who seek him with their whole hearts what advantages it them, when, in their professed neglect of the search after truth, they declare that nothing reveals it to them? For the very obscurity in which they are, and for which they blame the Church, does but establish one of the points which she main tains, without affecting the other, and far from destroying.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores man's enigmatic nature, delving into his grandeur and misery, his strengths, and weaknesses, and his contradictory essence. The author examines man's unique position in the universe, oscillating between an understanding of his greatness and an acknowledgment of his insignificance. The book situates man within a broader philosophical and religious context, examining the perspectives of ordinary men, philosophers, and Christians on human nature. It delves into themes of human misery, man's search for happiness, and the power of diversion in alleviating existential unease. Ultimately, this book provides a profound reflection on the complexities of human existence, shedding light on our paradoxical nature and the ongoing quest for meaning in a world fraught with both joy and suffering.
