{"product_id":"the-best-of-pascal-darrell-wright-9781544909066","title":"The Best of Pascal: Selections from the Pensees","description":"Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) was a French mathematician, physicist and religious philosopher, who laid the foundation for the modern theory of probabilities. Starting in 1657, Pascal began to write notes that would be posthumously organized and published as the Pens es (\"Thoughts\"). In this, his most famous work, Pascal often writes with great philosophical profundity about his position on faith, the human condition, the meaning of life, the way to happiness, and other philosophical and theological questions. The most often cited portion of the collection is Pascal's famed \"Wager,\" in which he states that it is more advantageous for religious skeptics to embrace a belief in God as they ultimately have more to lose if the existence of God, in particular the Christian God, is revealed after death. In this book are collected the most profound and thought-provoking passages from the Pens es, along with occasional explanation and commentary by Darrell Wright.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Darrell Wright\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1544909063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781544909066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.16d","brand":"Darrell Wright","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980055314687,"sku":"9781544909066","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_90322a79-d6fd-4f65-926d-9ebc547322b2.jpg?v=1683248125","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-best-of-pascal-darrell-wright-9781544909066","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
