Extractions: Pascal is een christelijk denker en schrijver wiens grote aantrekkingskracht vooral ligt in zijn religieuze persoonlijkheid. Daarbij komt dat hij de gave bezat zijn religieus beleven zo direct uit te leggen dat ook wij nu nog bij het lezen worden ontroerd. Pascal is door deze existentiële houding actueel in onze tijd. De vader van Blaise Pascal, hoofd van het gerechtshof in Clermont-Ferrand, gaf zijn post op om zijn kinderen een betere opvoeding te gunnen en vestigde zich in Parijs. Hij was zelf een groot wiskundige en zag tot zijn genoegen dat de jonge Blaise zich in snel tempo op alle gebieden van de exacte wetenschap ontwikkelde; hij verwachtte niet ten onrechte dat zijn zoon hem op het terrein van de wiskunde, maar ook op dat van de filosofie, verre zou overtreffen. Een ongeluk dat de vader overkwam, leidde tot het contact van het hele gezin met het jansenisme (al ging Blaise Pascal daartoe pas later over): twee edellieden lieten hem en al de andere familieleden de geschriften van de godgeleerde Jansenius, Arnauld en de belangrijke theoretici van deze beweging lezen.

Blaise Pascal, 1623-1662
Brief biography with excerpts from pascal's writings.
http://www.historyguide.org/intellect/bpascal.html

Extractions: Blaise Pascal, 1623-1662 We run carelessly to the precipice, after we have put some thing before us to prevent us seeing it. The French mathematician, theologian, physicist and man-of-letters, Blaise Pascal, was born June 19 at Clermont-Ferrand, the son of the local president of the court of exchequer. Pascal's mother died in 1630 and the family moved to Paris, where his father, a prominent mathematician, personally undertook his children's education. Unlike the famous education of John Stuart Mill, the young Pascal was not allowed to begin a subject until his father thought he could easily master it. Consequently it was discovered that the eleven year old boy had worked out for himself in secret the first twenty-three propositions of Euclid, calling straight lines "bars" and circles "rounds." At sixteen he published a paper on solid geometry which Descartes refused refused to believe was the handiwork of a youth. Father an son collaborated in experiments to confirm Torricelli's theory, unpalatable the the Schoolmen, that nature does, after all, not abhor a vacuum. These experiments, carried out by Pascal's brother-in-law, Florin Périer, consisted in carrying up the Puy de Dôme two glass tubes containing mercury, inverted in a bath of mercury and noting the fall of the mercury columns with increased altitude. Again, Descartes disbelieved the principle, which Pascal fully described in three papers on the void published in 1647, when he also patented a calculating machine, later simplified by Leibniz, which he had built to assist his father in his accounts. Pascal was also led to invent the barometer, the hydraulic press and the syringe.

Extractions: Pascal, Blaise At the end of 1654, after several months of intense depression, Pascal had a religious experience that altered his life. He entered the Jansenist monastery at Port-Royal, although he did not take orders. He never published in his own name again. The Jansenists encouraged him in his mathematical studies, which he resumed. To assist them in their struggles against the Jesuits, he wrote, under a pseudonym, a defense of the famous Jansenist Antoine Arnauld, in the form of 18 epistles. Known as Lettres provinciales, they were likely responsible for the subsequent reputation of the Jesuits as hypocritical and casuistic. In 1658 he broke with the Jansenists and left the monastery. He continued mathematical study and worked on calculus and on probability theory with Pierre de Fermat. Pascal died at the age of 39 in intense pain after a malignant growth in his stomach spread to the brain. His most famous work is the Pensees (Thoughts), a set of deeply personal meditations in somewhat fragmented form on human suffering and faith in God. "Pascal's wager" expresses the conviction that belief in God is rational: if God does not exist, one stands to lose nothing by believing in him anyway, while if he does exist, one stands to lose everything by not believing.
