Blaise Pascal

  • Thinking Humanity in Space and Time

    When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in an eternity before and after, the little space I fill engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces whereof I know nothing, and which know nothing of me, I am terrified. The eternal silence of these infinite spaces frightens me. Pensees, Blaise Pascal https://academyofideas.com/2016/03/blaise-pascal-the-infinite-spaces-alienation-and-the-wager/…
