The Thoughts of Blaise Pascal

Summary: "The power of thoughts"
Review: In the era of Internet discussions, such "virtual timetravel" Blaise Pascal sounds a very ancient thinker. However, if you ever read "Thoughts" you might see that he isn't just a religious thinker and not just a strange scientist, who loves spiritual philosophies. In "Thoughts" Pascal is teaching mankind of a way of thinking that is a privilege only to the genies. Here he shares with us what is more, then "Homo-sapiens" we created, and what is waiting us to awake ourselves of that lethargic dream we call today "terrestrial boundaries"... Great book for all times and generations so long "we" exist! Call me for more.

Summary: "The power of thoughts"
Review: It is a common fallacy to assume that science and philosophy first got underway at the end of the 19th Century, and that what went before were rudimentary efforts, at best. Blaise Pascal, writing in the early 17th Century, had the capacity for profound thought, and was blessed with the ability to reveal his thinking with a clarity that would have been the envy of Hemingway. Reading his "Thoughts" left me overjoyed.
