Description
1696 Blaise PASCAL Provincial Letters JESUIT Philosophy Gabriel Daniel Response
“I have only made this letter longer because I have not had the time to make it shorter."
― Blaise Pascal, The Provincial Letters
The “Provincial Letters” by Blaise Pascal are a collection of letters in defense of Antoine Arnauld, a Jansenist who was condemned for heresy. Because of the content and nature of the letters, Pascal wrote them under a pseudonym of Louis de Montalte and added satire, humor, and whit to them as to further himself from the letters.
Unsurprisingly, numerous responses were written and published reacting to Pascals landmark work. One such work was Gabriel Daniels “Reponse aux Lettres Provinciales”. Includes interviews and conversations with Jesuits, gaining their perspective against Pascal. Ultimately, Daniel rests on a sturdy defense of Jesuits, attacking Pascal and his theories.
