Synopsis
This book recounts a visit to the Abbey of Port Royal, the former home of the Jansenist community in France. The author's meditations on the history of the community and the life of its most famous member, the philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal, lead him to profound reflections on the nature of faith, doubt, and the human condition. The author highlights Pascal's radical rejection of both philosophical rationalism and religious fideism, arguing that true faith can only be found through a lived experience of the divine. The book is an insightful exploration of the challenges and rewards of religious belief, and offers a timely reminder of the enduring power of Pascal's thought.
