Abstract

The pari is one of the relevant themes of Pascal’s Pensées. This paper does not intend to reconstruct the history of criticism of the pascalian topic. It does three things: (1) it exposes analytically that topic in its own structure; (2) clarifies what its interlocutors and objectives are; (3) highlights its existential and pragmatic implications.
