This 1993 book studies the ways in which Pascal posed and solved intellectual problems in three very different areas of his work: mathematics and mathematical physics, religious experience and theology, communication and controversy. Hugh Davidson shows how three of the classical 'liberal arts', rhetoric, dialectic and geometry, pervade Pascal's method as liberating and guiding influences in his search for truth. They appear throughout his production and are used and adapted with great skill both in his attacks on tradition in mathematics and physics and in his defences of tradition in the sphere of religion and morality. Professor Davidson throws light on both the diversity and the unity of Pascal's thought, and places it in the context of other seventeenth-century innovations in the use of traditional disciplines.

Pascal Paoli à Maria Cosway

Le fonds documentaire qui est à la source de cet ouvrage est conservé dans le Fondazione Maria Cosway à Lodi, en Italie. Il comprend essentiellement un corpus de cent vingt-trois lettres et billets datant de 1782 à 1803, qui constitue la correspondance active du chef corse Pascal Paoli (1725-1807) à Maria Cosway (1760-1838), l’épouse du célèbre peintre miniaturiste Richard Cosway. Chaque document, dont l’original est en italien, est retranscrit, traduit et annoté; l’édition comporte en outre une chronologie historique, une chronologie des lettres et un index.Cette correspondance éclaire sous un jour nouveau la biographie de Pascal Paoli au temps de son séjour en Angleterre, période qui constituait une lacune importante dans ce domaine. Elle précise la nature des liens entre le chef corse et la famille Bonaparte. Envers sa correspondante, l’auteur se révèle malicieux, spirituel, affectueusement ironique, moralisateur, ferme sur le décorum qu’il croit devoir maintenir, mais aussi traversé parfois par le doute, la tristesse et le découragement, voire l’angoisse métaphysique. Le portrait moral qui en ressort est celui d’un personnage amateur de littérature, de peinture et de musique, plus sensible, plus vivant, moins figé que l’image littéraire héroïsée et ‘monumentale’ du ‘champion de la liberté’ que James Boswell a laissé à la postérité dans son Account of Corsica and Memoirs of Pascal Paoli.On perçoit aussi la riche et attachante personnalité de la destinaire de ces lettres. Le seul fait que Maria Cosway ait eu le souci de conserver ces documents témoigne moins de sa vanité que de son intelligence. Un autre intérêt, et non des moindres, est la toile de fond, esquissée par les nombreuses allusions à la pléiade de célébrités du monde des lettres et des arts que Paoli côtoyait. Cette évocation illustre à quel point Londres était alors un ardent et brillant foyer de culture.
A child prodigy, Pascal made essential additions to Descartes' work at the age of 16. By the age of 19, he had invented the world's first mechanical calculator. But despite his immense contributions to modern science, it is Pascal's wager with God that set him apart as a man fully engaged with both religious and scientific pursuits. One night in 1654, Pascal had a visit from God, an experience that would change his life. Struggling to explain God's existence to others, he dared apply his mathematical work to religious faith. He argued for the existence of God basing his position on outcomes - his famous wager. By applying to the existence of God the same rules that governed the existence and position of the universe, Pascal sounded the death knell for medieval 'certainties', paving the way for modern thinking.
Starting with the simple rule which generates the numbers in Pascal's Triangle, it is remarkable how many other patterns and properties there are to discover. Any teacher who would like to convey something of the wonder of mathematics to a class at almost any level would find little better than the material contained in this book. It offers potential for investigations and topics for ages 8-18.
