The provincial letters of Blaise Pascal : A new translation, with historical…
"The Provincial Letters of Blaise Pascal" by Blaise Pascal is a series of eighteen polemical letters written between 1656-1657. Written under a pseudonym during a fierce theological controversy, these letters defend Pascal's friend against heresy charges while launching a witty, satirical attack on Jesuit casuistry and moral reasoning. Combining intellectual fervor with worldly polish, Pascal's humorous mockery made these letters both a literary sensation and a theological bombshell that defied even papal
authority, ultimately influencing how the Church approached moral questions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
