Intro Biographie Oeuvres Liens 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 Blaise Pascal ou le génie français Fayard, 2000 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."

Z content revised OCT Pascal's Wager "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 Infinite-nothing 1.

Background 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

BLAISE PASCAL (1623-1662) "Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed. The entire universe need not arm itself to crush him. A vapor, a drop of water suffices to kill him. But, if the universe were to crush him, man would still be more noble than that which killed him, because he knows that he dies and the advantage which the universe has over him, the universe knows nothing of this. Pensees Pascal was a child prodigy, who was educated by his father. He was a mathematician of the first order. At 16 he wrote the Essai pour les coniques which was published in 1640. In 1642 he invented a calculating machine to help his father, who served as Royal Tax Commissioner at Rouen. Pascal is often credited with the discovery of the mathematical theory of probability, and he also made serious contributions to number theory and geometry. In 1646 Pascal learned of Toricelli's experiments with the barometer and the theory of air preassure. These experiments involved placing a tube of mercury upside down in a bowl of mercury. Pascal repeated Toricelli's experiments and did more work which led to the publication of Experiences nouvelles touchant le vide in 1647. Aristotle had argued against the atomists that nature abhors a vacume. This was a view still strongly held in the seventeenth century, even by such anti-Aristotelians as Descartes and Hobbes. In the

Pascal Pascal esposizione giudizio testi esposizione esposizione vita 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". Dunque, prima che filosofo, Pascal fu scienziato e inventore. Nel 1639 per dare una mano al padre, mandato a riscuotere le tasse nella turbolenta Alta Normandia (a Rouen), inventò una macchina calcolatrice.

Branch of Science Mathematicians Nationality French Pascal, Blaise (1623-1662) French mathematician, philosopher, and religious figure. He studied the region above the mercury in a barometer maintaining that it was a vacuum. 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.
