First American Edition of the Pensées. Blaise Pascal (16231662) the great French scientist and religious philosopher, was famous as a youth. He wrote a paper, before he was 16, on conic sections which won the respect of the mathematicians of Paris. At 19 he invented a calculating machine. Credited with founding the modern theory of probability, Pascal also discovered the properties of the cycloid and contributed to the advance of differential calculus. In physics his experiments increased knowledge of atmospheric pressure through barometric measurements and of the equilibrium of fluids (see Pascal's law). As a young man, Pascal came under the influence of Jansenism, and in 1651 his sister Jacqueline, who had also embraced Jansenist beliefs, entered the convent at Port-Royal, the center of the movement. As a result of the death of his father and of his own narrow escape from death, Pascal in 1654 experienced what he called a "conversion" and thereafter turned much of his attention to religion. When Antoine Arnauld, a noted Jansenist, was attacked by the Jesuits, Pascal championed him in his Lettre escrite à un provincial (1656). Those Provincial Letters, rendered into Latin, quickly circulated throughout Europe, and they still hold a leading place in the literature of polite irony. Pascal's religious writings were posthumously published as Pensées de M. Pascal sur la religion et sur quelques autres sujets (1670). In the Pensées, famous both as a religious and philosophical classic, Pascal states his belief in the inadequacy of reason to solve man's difficulties or to satisfy his hopes. He preached instead the final necessity of mystic faith for true understanding of the universe and its meaning to man. W145 Rt/R. Language: eng.

Guilbaud (Le ?revers' d'un succès de librairie: les contrefaçons lyonnaises de la première édition des Pensées de Pascal 1670 et 1675', in: ?Histoire et civilisation du livre?, 2, 2006, pp. 113-123), bound together with the first edition of Nicolas Filleau de la Chaise's Discours sur les Pensées de M. Pascal.The first edition of the Pensées was published in January 1670, eight years after Pascal's death. It was prepared between 1667 and 1668 by a committee of Jansenist relatives and friends of the author, including Antoine Arnauld, Pierre Nicole, Étienne Périer (Pascal's brother-in-law) and Françoise Gilberte Périer (Pascal's sister), who gathered and edited Pascal's scattered papers, imposing to them an arbitrary structure and dividing them into large thematic groups. In March 1670 a second edition appeared in two different issues with the text corrected. A very rare so-called ?pre-original' edition, published in Paris in the summer of 1669 by G. Desprez, submitted to the ecclesiastical authorities and proofreaders for approval, is known in only two copies. Several were also the counterfeit editions appeared soon after the publication of the first edition.The Pensées opens with a general preface, which outlines the structure and lays the foundations of the work. A first part, ?Man without God', in which Pascal describes man's misery, his place in nature between the two infinities ?the Whole and the Nothing', the habit that enslaves, the imagination that deceives, the self-love that seduces, the amusement that distracts, and finally the affirmation of the need to seek God. A second and final part, ?Man with God', divided into three chapters in which Pascal refutes the theories of the ancient philosophers (Stoics, Epicureans, Dogmatists and Pyrrhonists), affirms the contradiction and blindness of Judaism, describes the true religion, proposes his famous ?bet', distinguishes interiority-exteriority and discusses the means of faith. Then, are explained the proofs of Christianity that would make it superior to any other religion or philosophy, dividing them into prophecies, miracles, perpetuity, the holiness and morality of true Christians, and reason: in fact, only the grace of Christ can give reason for our misery. Finally, in the last section of the book, Pascal wrote of the Church, its supernatural foundation and strength, and its doctrinal infallibility, coordinated by the Pope. So, what are the Pensées? They are not a mere defence of orthodoxy, nor an appeal to faith and much less do they conceal free thought. Also, when he attacks the rationalism of Descartes or the scepticism of Montaigne, he does so with Cartesian methods of reasoning and Montaigne's style.To rational scepticism, Pascal proposes a deeper scepticism, which he calls Pyrrhonism. If the sceptic denies everything that cannot be proved by reason, Pascal also denies the power of reason, whose ability lies only in the power of God. ?Cogito, ergo sum' is only true if there is a being who can give existence and thought. Thus, he explains human experience entirely in terms of faith and revela. Book.

First Edition in Latin, pseudonymously translated by Port-Royal moralist and theologian Pierre Nicole, of the Lettres Provinciales, the most important ethical work of Pascal and one of the great classics of French prose. Written in response to the Jesuit attacks on Jansenism which culminated in the condemnation by the Sorbonne at the end of 1655 of Antoine Arnauld, the chief light of Port Royal, the Lettres were originally issued clandestinely in a series of eighteen separate parts between January 23, 1656 and January 15, 1657. "Pascal's counter-attack took the form of a brilliant exposure of the casuistical methods of argument employed by the Jesuits. It was at the time a magnificent sustained invective, after which the Jesuits never recovered their former position in France (it was largely responsible for the traditional bad name they still, less deservedly, bear), and a noble defence of thought in religious faith. Pascal's weapon was irony, and the freshness with which the gravity of the subject contrasts with the lightness of the manner is an enduring triumph. The vividness and distinction of his style recalls the prose of Milton at its best." (PMM) Brunet IV 396. Rand I p. 395. Rahir 829 (with final errata leaf, not called for by Willems).
