Description
In 1778, the year of his death, Voltaire annotated the edition of the 'Eloge et Pensees de Pascal' published by Condorcet two years earlier. The 'Pensees', a masterpiece abandoned by Pascal himself, provided both its editors of the eighteenth century with the starting-point for a series of reflections on the great questions of life, death, faith and morality. The present edition reproduces Pascal's text accompanied by Condorcet's notes and Voltaire's comments on those notes. The whole constitutes a kind of conversation of three voices that illustrates the many points of divergence (and more rarely of convergence) between the trio of thinkers.
