Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of letters written by Blaise Pascal, a 17th-century French mathematician, physicist, and philosopher, to prominent figures of his time. The letters provide an insightful look into the intellectual and religious debates of the era, particularly the conflict between the Jansenists and Jesuits. Pascal himself was closely associated with the Jansenists, a reformist movement within Catholicism that emphasized the sovereignty of God and the depravity of humanity. Pascal articulates that the Jesuits are a threat to true Christianity, as they believe that God created humanity to be essentially good and capable of achieving salvation through their own efforts. In contrast, Pascalâs concept of Jansenism places much more importance on the role of divine grace. The book delves into the theological and philosophical differences between these two factions, delving into the nature of sin, grace, and the ultimate purpose of human existence. By exploring these fundamental questions through the lens of Pascalâs sharp intellect and eloquent prose, this book sheds light on the nature of faith, the human condition, and the search for truth.

2 Volumes. 8vo. pp. 7 p.l., lxiii, 228; 2 p.l., 320. 2 engraved frontis. portraits by George Vertue. Vol. I lacking A2 (dedication to George Pitt, Jun.). several woodcut ornaments. contemporary calf, rebacked & recornered (covers worn, internally fine & crisp). First Edition of the Second English Translation of the 'Provincial Letters', by William Andrews, and First Edition in English of the prefatory biography of Pascal by his sister. Pascal's famous defence of Jansenism, the seventeenth-century French ascetic movement of reform inside the Roman Catholic Church, stands as a brilliant and noble defence of thought in religious faith. The author's first important ethical work and a classic of French prose, it was composed following Pascal's removal in 1654 to Port Royal, the monastery famous as the centre of the Jansenist movement. Written in response to the Jesuit attacks on Jansenism which culminated in the condemnation by the Sorbonne at the end of 1655 of Antoine Arnauld, the leading light of Port Royal, the Lettres were originally issued clandestinely in a series of eighteen separate parts between January 23, 1656 and January 15, 1657. Pascal's magnificent invective against the casuistical methods of argument employed by the Jesuits seriously weakened their position in France and was largely responsible for the traditional bad reputation which they still bear. The prefatory biography was written by Pascal's sister, Jacqueline Perier, who was a nun at Port Royal. "Pascal's counter-attack took the form of a brilliant exposure of the casuistical methods of argument employed by the Jesuits.[His] weapon was irony, and the freshness with which the gravity of the subject contrasts with the lightness of the manner is an enduring triumph. The vividness and distinction of his style recalls the prose of Milton at its best." (Printing and the Mind of Man) NCBEL II 1525. Rothschild 35.…
