Unterwegs mit Pascal

What is the topicality of Pascal's pensées? He gives the answer himself: "One must (...) know how to doubt where it is necessary, to assure where it is necessary, by submitting where it is necessary. He who does not do so does not understand the power of reason. (...)" Doubt, knowledge and faith: these conflicting attitudes form the core of his dialectical thinking with a view to the abysses of human existence. The present approaches present existential-temporal-diagnostic reflections of the Pensées in the sense of free variations. In the process, central horizons such as the "eyes of the heart" are thematised and relations to other thinkers are pointed out. An approach to the Pensées can be found in each chapter.
