The Provincial letters of Blaise Pascal. A new translation with historical introduction and notes, by Thomas M`Crie.

Descripción

Octavo. Original black cloth. Rubbing, chipping edges. Foxing. Blaise Pascal was a French mathematician, physicist, religious philosopher, and master of prose. He laid the foundation for the modern theory of probabilities, formulated what came to be known as Pascal's principle of pressure, and propagated a religious doctrine that taught the experience of God through the heart rather than through reason. The establishment of his principle of intuitionism had an impact on such later philosophers as Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Henri Bergson and also on the Existentialists.
