Thoughts. With comments and illustrations

French philosopher and scientist Blaise Pascal was one of the founders of mathematical analysis and probability theory, as well as a brilliant writer. Being a deeply religious person, Pascal had a sharp analytical mind and was a supporter of the... Jansenism movement in Catholicism. His constant reflections on religious issues led him to create numerous fragments of a work that later became known as "Thoughts." This work became a classic of French literature. It presents profound philosophical reflections on the nature of the world, the place of God in human life, and the meaning of existence. The aphoristic style, brevity of definitions, and clarity of presentation have made this work world-renowned, and interest in it remains strong to this day. The texts are accompanied by comments and explanations.
