A new translation of Pascal's collected spiritual and theological writings, offering insight into his deep reflections on faith, miracles, and human suffering. 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. These extra materials introduce the reader to Pascal's metaphysical works and bring to life Pascal's witness of the dawn of a new Scientific age. This is volume 3 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: Dissertation on the True Meaning of These Words of the Holy Fathers
1657: Questions on Miracles, Proposed by Pascal to Abbé De Barco
1648: Prayer to Ask God for the Right Use of Illnesses
1649: Interview with M. de Saci on Epictetus and Montaigne "Lettre sur la possibilité d'accomplir les commandemens de Dieu" (Letter on the Possibility of Accomplishing God's Commandments) was written in 1656. This letter is part of Pascal's contributions to the Jansenist debate, particularly addressing issues of divine grace and human free will. Pascal also discusses the views of key theological authorities, such as St. Thomas Aquinas, and examines the relationship between miracles and the true church.
