The Thoughts of Blaise Pascal

"The Thoughts of Blaise Pascal" by Blaise Pascal is a collection of insightful reflections from the 1600s that ponder big questions about what it means to be human, explore ideas about God, and consider how logic and belief can work together. Starting with the idea that people are unhappy without a connection to God, the book looks at how people try to avoid facing their own lives and considers how people can be both impressive and insignificant at the same time. Pascal sets the stage for a journey into truth, arguing that God is essential for understanding our place in the world and hinting at the struggles that define his ideas.
