The Pensees (literally, "thoughts") represented a defense of
the Christian religion by Blaise Pascal, the renowned 17th century philosopher
and mathematician. Pascal's religious conversion led him into a life of
asceticism, and the Pensees was in many ways his life's work."Pascal's
Wager" is found here. The Pensees is in fact a name given posthumously to
his fragments, which he had been preparing for an Apology of Christian
Religion which was never completed.
