Wood

Blaise Pascal Duplic, Sin & Fall Cphst C

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explains Pascal's understanding of the cognitive consequences of the Fall. For Pascal, the self is a fiction, constructed from without by an already duplicitous world. Drawing on the Pensees, William Wood demonstrates, by exegetical argument and constructive example, that 'Pascalian' theology is both possible and fruitful.
