Kepler]","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlaise Pascal was a 17th century French scientist, author, and Christian philosopher who is best known for his work, \"Pens es\" or \"Thoughts.\" First published posthumously in 1670, \"Thoughts\" is an edited compilation of the notes that Pascal had prepared for a planned work that scholars refer to as an \"Apology for the Christian Religion.\" Given its incompleteness when Pascal died, the order and composition of the work has been debated and as a result has produced many variant publications. In spite of their incompleteness and frequent incoherence, \"Thoughts\" has long held a high place among the great classics of the Christian religion. Much of the theological argument implied in these utterances has little appeal to the modern mind, but the acuteness of the observation of human life, the subtlety of the reasoning, the combination of precision and fervid imagination in the expression, make this a book to which the discerning mind can return again and again for insight and inspiration. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, follows the translation of W. F. Trotter, with an introduction by Thomas S. Kepler.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Blaise Pascal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1420958313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781420958317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Digireads.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.48d","brand":"Blaise Pascal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44138579263743,"sku":"9781420958317","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8e3118fb-ef0e-46fe-ba89-4fb3164fd5b8.jpg?v=1687900423","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/penses-thoughts-blaise-pascal-9781420958317","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
