| Summary |
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 'Pensées', William Wood demonstrates, by exegetical argument and constructive example, that 'Pascalian' theology is both possible and fruitful. |
