Blaise Pascal: Apologist to Skeptics

By Charles Sherrard MacKenzie

This book focuses on Blaise Pascal's Pens es, an apology for Christianity, which is regarded as Pascal's crowning achievement. Professor Charles Sherrard MacKenzie maintains that the lens best enabling us to understand Pens es is his fragment on the three orders of life: mental, material, and spiritual. This analysis also highlights the frustrations Pascal encountered while making scientific discoveries, as part of his quest for certainty in his and others' faith.
