| Blaise Pascal |
| |
| 1623–62, French scientist and religious philosopher.… In the Pensées, famous both as a religious and philosophical classic, Pascal states his belief in the inadequacy of reason to solve man’s difficulties or to satisfy his hopes. He preached instead the final necessity of mystic faith for true understanding of the universe and its meaning to man.—continue at Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition.
