The Philosophy of Pascal
Only five people are signed up for Philosophy of Pascal this fall at Denver Seminary. I am teaching this and wrote one of the texts, On Pascal. We will emphasize Pascal's classic, Pensees. Join us!
Pascal, the mystical Roman Catholic, can be a bit of a hard sell to English speaking evangelicals. That said, Pascal, like Augustine, was an early Christian existentialist. Existentialism was all the rage when I was a lad, but essentially goes unmentioned nowadays.
