Mathematicien ou philosophe? Theologien ou physicien? Pascal etait tout cela a la fois, ce qui en fait un des esprits les plus brillants de son temps. Figure intellectuelle majeure du XVIIe siecle, Pascal demeure aujourd hui une reference en matiere de reflexion sur Dieu, sur l infini, sur l inconnu. Ses recherches ont contribue a faire avancer les sciences dures autant que ses fameuses "Pensees" ont amene ses contemporains a s interroger sur leur rapport au spirituel.
