This 1993 book studies the ways in which Pascal posed and solved
intellectual problems in three very different areas of his work:
mathematics and mathematical physics, religious experience and
theology, communication and controversy. Hugh Davidson shows how
three of the classical 'liberal arts', rhetoric, dialectic and
geometry, pervade Pascal's method as liberating and guiding
influences in his search for truth. They appear throughout his
production and are used and adapted with great skill both in his
attacks on tradition in mathematics and physics and in his defences
of tradition in the sphere of religion and morality. Professor
Davidson throws light on both the diversity and the unity of
Pascal's thought, and places it in the context of other
seventeenth-century innovations in the use of traditional
disciplines.
