87. Blaise Pascal The fifth chapter of the learning module by Richard Hooker about the second major thinker of the early Enlightenment. http://www.wsu.edu:8000/~dee/ENLIGHT/PASCAL.HTM

Enlightenment Reader John Milton Paradise Lost Book V Christianity Glossary Typology Blaise Pascal , a mathematician and sometime theologian. The universe in the seventeenth century had expanded beyond human imagination. The century before introduced Europe to an entirely new continent, filled with a people no one had ever heard of before, who had a history spanning centuries, a history that would forever remain a mystery to the Europeans. They looked at fallen cities in Meso-America and gazed on stone stelae and books filled with a mysterious and indecipherable language and realized a wealth of human history lay beyond their grasp. The invention of the telescope multiplied worlds upon worlds: the moon, which had always been regarded as a kind of atmosphere, was in fact terrestrial, with mountains and plains. The planet Jupiter was itself surrounded by planets, little earths that did not orbit our larger earth. If all these neighbors were terrestrial, what might the stars themselves have orbiting about them? For the first time in human history, people began to speculate about the possibility of other forms of life, particularly human life, living on other earths orbiting other suns (Milton, in Paradise Lost , implies that this is a possibility).

BLAISE PASCAL (1623-1662) "Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed. The entire universe need not arm itself to crush him. A vapor, a drop of water suffices to kill him. But, if the universe were to crush him, man would still be more noble than that which killed him, because he knows that he dies and the advantage which the universe has over him, the universe knows nothing of this. Pensees Pascal was a child prodigy, who was educated by his father. He was a mathematician of the first order. At 16 he wrote the Essai pour les coniques which was published in 1640. In 1642 he invented a calculating machine to help his father, who served as Royal Tax Commissioner at Rouen. Pascal is often credited with the discovery of the mathematical theory of probability, and he also made serious contributions to number theory and geometry. In 1646 Pascal learned of Toricelli's experiments with the barometer and the theory of air preassure. These experiments involved placing a tube of mercury upside down in a bowl of mercury. Pascal repeated Toricelli's experiments and did more work which led to the publication of Experiences nouvelles touchant le vide in 1647. Aristotle had argued against the atomists that nature abhors a vacume. This was a view still strongly held in the seventeenth century, even by such anti-Aristotelians as Descartes and Hobbes. In the

Blaise Pascal B Essai sur les coniques Mémorial Antoine Arnauld Les Provinciales (janvier 1656-1657) regroupent 18 lettres publiées au jour le jour sur les subtilités théologiques et morales alors en débat. Ces lettres sont l'un des premiers chefs-d'oeuvre de la prose française classique. Une grande rigueur argumentative y est soutenue par une rhétorique de la sincérité et du naturel ("la vraie éloquence se moque de l'éloquence"), dont la clarté est le premier impératif, ainsi que le refus du pédantisme (artifices oratoires, citations, spécialisation du discours). Pascal y fait également preuve de beaucoup de drôlerie et d'ironie ainsi que d'un talent dramatique certain dans de nombreux dialogues pleins d'esprit et de complicité ironique.

Born: 19 June 1623 in Clermont (now Clermont-Ferrand), Auvergne, France Died: 19 Aug 1662 in Paris, France Blaise Pascal worked on conic sections and produced important theorems in projective geometry. In correspondence with Fermat he laid the foundation for the theory of probability. Pascal's father, Étienne Pascal, had unorthodox educational views and decided to teach his son himself. He decided that Pascal was not to study mathematics before the age of 15 and all mathematics texts were removed from their house. Pascal however, his curiosity raised by this, started to work on geometry himself at the age of 12. He discovered that the sum of the angles of a triangle are 2 right angles and, when his father found out he relented and allowed Pascal a copy of Euclid. At the age of 14 Pascal started to attend Mersenne's meetings. Mersenne belonged to the religious order of the Minims, and his cell in Paris was a frequent meeting place for Fermat, Pascal, Gassendi, and others. At the age of 16 Pascal presented a single piece of paper to one of Mersenne's meetings. It contained a number of projective geometry theorems, including Pascal's mystic hexagon. Pascal invented the first digital calculator (1642) to help his father. The device, called the Pascaline, resembled a mechanical calculator of the 1940's.

96. Blaise Pascal, 1623-1662 Brief biography with excerpts from pascal's writings. http://www.historyguide.org/intellect/bpascal.html

Blaise Pascal, 1623-1662 We run carelessly to the precipice, after we have put some thing before us to prevent us seeing it. The French mathematician, theologian, physicist and man-of-letters, Blaise Pascal, was born June 19 at Clermont-Ferrand, the son of the local president of the court of exchequer. Pascal's mother died in 1630 and the family moved to Paris, where his father, a prominent mathematician, personally undertook his children's education. Unlike the famous education of John Stuart Mill, the young Pascal was not allowed to begin a subject until his father thought he could easily master it. Consequently it was discovered that the eleven year old boy had worked out for himself in secret the first twenty-three propositions of Euclid, calling straight lines "bars" and circles "rounds." At sixteen he published a paper on solid geometry which Descartes refused refused to believe was the handiwork of a youth. Father an son collaborated in experiments to confirm Torricelli's theory, unpalatable the the Schoolmen, that nature does, after all, not abhor a vacuum. These experiments, carried out by Pascal's brother-in-law, Florin Périer, consisted in carrying up the Puy de Dôme two glass tubes containing mercury, inverted in a bath of mercury and noting the fall of the mercury columns with increased altitude. Again, Descartes disbelieved the principle, which Pascal fully described in three papers on the void published in 1647, when he also patented a calculating machine, later simplified by Leibniz, which he had built to assist his father in his accounts. Pascal was also led to invent the barometer, the hydraulic press and the syringe.
