Pascal’s Thoughts were very interesting to read. After reading this chapter about Pascal’s thoughts I think it would be intriguing to be inside his head.
I remember a Phineas and Ferb episode when the cast was inside Candice’s mind. I do not think it would be as fun as it looks in that episode. It would be interesting because Pascal thought about the very existence of humans and whether we are living in reality or in a dream.
When reading Thoughts, the way Pascal words his thoughts leads me to believe that some of them are not what he believes. He is just mentioning them to rid them from his mind, to ponder them more, and to be a well-rounded philosopher. I believe this because he mentions thoughts that go against Christian beliefs but then says, “Humble yourself, weak reason; be silent, foolish nature; learn that man infinitely transcends man, and learn from your Master your true condition, of which you are ignorant. Hear God”(Pascal).
Pascal also says, “Let us endeavor, then, to think well; this is the principle of morality.” He says that logic and reason are principles of morality. Does this mean that to be moral we must be logical and have thought? I do not know if there are exceptions. In my opinion, this is true. To have morals, we have to know what we believe, then logically, we have to think; thought leads to reason.
I would like to thank you for reading my blog that is inspired and formatically inspired by Pascal’s Thoughts.
