Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662)
Excerpts from a mathematical biography by W. W. Rouse Ball.
http://www.maths.tcd.ie/pub/HistMath/People/Pascal/RouseBall/RB_Pascal.html

Extractions: From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. Among the contemporaries of Descartes none displayed greater natural genius than Pascal, but his mathematical reputation rests more on what he might have done than on what he actually effected, as during a considerable part of his life he deemed it his duty to devote his whole time to religious exercises. Blaise Pascal Elements , a book which Pascal read with avidity and soon mastered. In 1650, when in the midst of these researches, Pascal suddenly abandoned his favourite pursuits to study religion, or, as he says in his , ``contemplate the greatness and the misery of man''; and about the same time he persuaded the younger of his two sisters to enter the Port Royal society. His famous Provincial Letters directed against the Jesuits, and his , were written towards the close of his life, and are the first example of that finished form which is characteristic of the best French literature. The only mathematical work that he produced after retiring to Port Royal was the essay on the cycloid in 1658. He was suffering from sleeplessness and toothache when the idea occurred to him, and to his surprise his teeth immediately ceased to ache. Regarding this as a divine intimation to proceed with the problem, he worked incessantly for eight days at it, and completed a tolerably full account of the geometry of the cycloid. I now proceed to consider his mathematical works in rather greater detail.

Written in the late 1950's, "Irrational Man" is largely responsible for introducing existentialism to America. Barret provides excellent summaries of the work of all of the major figures in existentialism (with the exception of Merleau-Ponty) and brilliantly integrates their work within Western literary, religious, artistic, and philosophical traditions. Barret provides great insight on the roots of existentialism in the history of Western civilization, and in doing so also constructs a highly informative narrative about that history itself.

Extractions: Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) " Tout cela sans projet , sans plan préconçu, sans vouloir rien publier ni laisser de traces, si ce n'est en se dissimulant derrière sept identités distinctes, chacune dotée de sa propre personnalité. Seulement pour relever les défis de l'intelligence que l'amitié et le hasard mettent sur sa route. Dans l'obsession de la pauvreté, du retrait, de l'anonymat, du salut. Un génie particulièrement français dans toutes ses dimensions : l'intellectuel, le marginal, le journaliste, le polémiste, le rebelle, l'homme d'action, soucieux d'universel, certes, mais aussi le délateur, l'arrogant, le jaloux, le menteur..." Jacques Attali Droit de reproduction interdit à lire : Jacques Attali : Blaise Pascal ou le génie français ( Fayard, 2000) Chateaubriand "Pascal brille dans la science, dans la polémique, dans la théologie, dans la philosophie. C'est un génie universel. Il est dépassé comme savant . Il est indépassable comme écrivain. Il a porté à l'incandescence la géométrie enflammée par l'amour de Dieu : sa place est immense dans cette littérature que son génie méprisait. Corneille est le créateur de notre vers classique. Pascal est le créateur de notre prose classique. A eux deux avec le Cid, avec les Provinciales et les Pensées, ils président à la naissance de ce que Thucydide appelait … , un trésor pour toujours : la langue française classique."

Maritain segnalibri esposizione giudizio testi Biagio, figlio di Stefano Pascal, autoritario e rigido, nacque a Clermont, in Alvernia (Francia centrale), il 19 giugno 1623 da famiglia altolocata. La madre morì quando lui aveva tre anni (1626); ebbe due sorelle: Gilberte e Jacqueline. Fu Gilberte a lasciarci una Vita di B. Pascal , scritta poco dopo la morte del fratello, e pubblicata la prima volta nel 1684, a Amsterdam. l'interesse per la scienza Il padre lo educò tenendolo dapprima lontano dalla matematica, per fargli prima ben apprendere le lettere classiche, ma Biagio si rivelò capace di leggere Euclide di nascosto e di capirlo da solo , costringendo il padre ad arrendersi all'evidenza di una vocazione più scientifica che umanistica del figlio. Così il padre lo condusse regolarmente alle riunioni di scienziati che si tenevano presso il P. Mersenne. Pascal manifestò un vero genio matematico e già a 16 anni scrisse un Traité des Coniques . Comunque la sua formazione non fu solo scientifica. La stessa sorella Gilberte dice che il fratello continuava a studiare il latino e il greco, ed oltre a ciò, "durante o dopo il pasto, mio padre lo intratteneva ora sulla logica, ora sulla fisica e sulle altre parti della filosofia".

Pascal's Wager
Argument due to blaise pascal for believing, or for at least taking steps to believe, in God. From the Stanford Encyclopedia, by Alan H¡jek.
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/pascal-wager/

Extractions: FEB "Pascal's Wager" is the name given to an argument due to Blaise Pascal for believing, or for at least taking steps to believe, in God. The name is somewhat misleading, for in a single paragraph of his , Pascal apparently presents at least three We will begin with some brief stage-setting: some historical background, some of the basics of decision theory, and some of the exegetical problems that the a priori demonstrations that God exists. Pascal is apparently unimpressed by such attempted justifications of theism: "Endeavour ... to convince yourself, not by increase of proofs of God..." Indeed, he concedes that "we do not know if He is ...". Pascal's project, then, is radically different: he seeks to provide prudential reasons for believing in God. To put it crudely, we should wager that God exists because it is the

In his investigations of the barometer he found that the height to which the mercury rose was the same regardless of shape. Based on his double vacuum experiment, he formulated Pascal's principle Pascal also designed and built mechanical adding machines, and incorporated a company in 1649 to produce and market them. Unfortunately, the machines were rather highly priced and had reliability problems. Only seven of Pascal's devices survive today. Pascal suffered from serious health problems, and spent most of his final years writing on religious philosophy.

Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) Mathematician, physicist, and theologian, inventor of the first digital calculator, who is often thought of as the ideal of classic French prose. Pascal lived in the time when Copernicus' discovery - that the earth moves round the sun - had made human beings insignificant factors in the new disenchanted world. Facing the immensity of the universe, Pascal felt horror - "The eternal silence of these infinite spaces terrifies me." For him the world seemed empty of ultimate meaning or significance without Christianity, which he defended against the assaults of freethinkers. While Montaigne lived at ease with skepticism, Pascal was tormented by religious doubt, and took the question Why are we here? "Pascal's disillusioned analysis of human bondage is sometimes interpreted to mean that Pascal was really and finally an unbeliever, who, in his despair, was incapable of enduring reality and enjoying the heroic satisfaction of the free man's worship of nothing. His despair, his disillusion, are, however, no illustration of personal weakness; they are perfectly objective, because they are essential moments in the progress of the intellectual soul; and for the type of Pascal they are the analogue of the drought, the dark night, which is an essential stage in the progress of the Christian mystic."
