This book puts forward an interpretation of rationality which is
much broader than the one underlying the current polarity between
analytic and continental philosophy. It will help to reaffirm a
range of ideas which have long been pushed to the sidelines by the
dominance of the geometric model of philosophical argument.
Descartes's dream of attaining a `certitude equal to the
demonstrations of Arithmetic and Geometry' reinforced the
assumption that rationality must be assessed in terms of logical
structure. Against this, Pascal invoked the notion of `finesse',
and Warner extends Pascal's usage in this book to specify a related
set of informal but legitimate styles of argument.
