In 1778, the year of his death, Voltaire annotated the edition of
the 'Eloge et Pensees de Pascal' published by Condorcet two years
earlier. The 'Pensees', a masterpiece abandoned by Pascal himself,
provided both its editors of the eighteenth century with the
starting-point for a series of reflections on the great questions
of life, death, faith and morality. The present edition reproduces
Pascal's text accompanied by Condorcet's notes and Voltaire's
comments on those notes. The whole constitutes a kind of
conversation of three voices that illustrates the many points of
divergence (and more rarely of convergence) between the trio of
thinkers.
