Blaise Pascal: The Man Who Made the Modern World

£25.00

Blaise Pascal is known for his famous argument 'the Wager', but there is much more to him than that. He can lay claim to have built an early version of the modern computer, achieved ground-breaking work in mathematics and geometry, invented urban bus transport and virtually invented probability theory. He also produced one of the most haunting and effective works of Christian apologetics ever written. He is a major intellectual figure at the beginning of the modern age who blends together in his own person and thinking issues that are critical to our age. Blaise Pascal is therefore a crucial figure: not just in the history of European thought, but for how he can shed light on our many contemporary debates.
