Letters and Conversations: Pascal's Personal and Public Correspondence:
This newly translated collection of Pascal's letters offers a glimpse into Pascal's personal life and relationships, as well as his famous public correspondence defending religious and philosophical views. This new Reader's Edition from Livraria Press contains a new Afterword by the translator on Pascal's personal relationship with Descartes and his intellectual objections to the new Cartesian rationality which fundamentally changed the course of both Science and Philosophy and a short biography on Pascal's life and impact. This is followed by a timeline of his life and relationships, an index of his core Philosophic terminology, a chronological list and summary of all of his published and posthumous works, and the text of Pascal's Memorial, a poetic, fragmented account of his divine vision in 1654. This extra material introduces the reader to Pascal's metaphysical works and brings to life Pascal's witness of the dawn of a new Scientific age. This is volume 2 of the 7-part Complete Works of Pascal by Livraria Press. This volume covers Pascal's groundbreaking contributions to mathematics, science, and engineering, as well as his Scientific-Philosophical commentary on the Enlightenment's Scientific progress. This volume contains: 1643: Letters to Family
1649: Letter on the Death of Pascal the Father
1656: Letter on the Possibility of Accomplishing God's Commandments Letters to Family is a complete collection of letters between Pascal and his three sisters (Gilberte Périer, his older sister), Jacqueline Pascal (a poet and younger sister of Pascal) and Marguerite Périer, the niece of Pascal.
