Nemoianu, Martin.

Pascal's God and the fragments of the world[electronic resource] /by Martin Nemoianu. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2024. - xi, 158 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: God -- Chapter 3: Nature -- Chapter 4: Man -- Chapter 5: Conclusion/Appendix.

In Pascal's God and the Fragments of the World, Martin Nemoianu offers a new interpretation of the thought of Blaise Pascal, drawn from the Pensées and beyond. The book takes Pascal's central theme to be the distinction - Infini rien - between the transcendent God and the created world, which, without God, would be nothing. Nemoianu identifies the distinction in Pascal, articulates it, and works through the difficulties attending the distinction's disclosure. He then considers the implications of the distinction for the nature of nature and the nature of the human being, culminating in the ideal of martyrdom. The book closes with treatment of a closely related theme: the relation between human freedom and divine grace, in the context of the vexed question of Pascal's Jansenism. Martin Nemoianu is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Loyola Marymount University, USA.
