The Provincial Letters Of Pascal - John De Soyres - Bog

The Provincial Letters of Pascal is a collection of eighteen letters written by the French philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal. The letters were originally published between 1656 and 1657 and were addressed to a friend in Paris. The letters were written in defense of Antoine Arnauld, a Jansenist theologian who had been accused of heresy by the Jesuits. Pascal used his letters to satirize the Jesuits and their moral theology, which he believed was too lax. The letters were written in a clear and concise style that made them accessible to a wide audience. They were widely read and had a significant impact on the religious and political debates of the time. This edition of the letters is translated by John De Soyres and includes an introduction and notes to help readers understand the context and significance of the letters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
