Pensees Introduction by T.S.Eloit. Translated by W.Trotter

"I know of no religious writer more pertinent to our time."-T. S. Eliot, Introduction to Pensées
Intended to prove that religion is not contrary to reason, Pascal's Pensées rank among the liveliest and most eloquent defenses of Christianity. Motivated by the seventeenth-century view of the supremacy of human reason, Pascal (1623-1662) had intended to write an ambitious apologia for Christianity in which he argued the inability of reason to address metaphysical problems. His untimely death prevented the work's completion, but the fragments published posthumously in 1670 as Pensées remain a vital part of religious and philosophical literature. W. F.
