The Thoughts (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

Intended as a systematic and coherent defense of the Christian faith, Pascal’s Thoughts (“Penseés”) were assembled after his death from the scattered and unfinished writings he had been working on. Among other things, the author advances a proposition now known as Pascal’s Wager: the idea that a rational person should behave as though God exists.

About the Author

Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) was a French mathematician and philosopher. He made many contributions to science, including pioneering work in geometry, physics, economics, and scientific philosophy. He invented an early mechanical calculator, the Pascaline. A programming language, a unit of measurement, and a type of triangle, among other things, bear his name.
