Pochybovat, ujiovat, podrobit se – K filosofickmu dlu Blaise Pascala (2025)

This Czech-language philosophical study examines the work of Blaise Pascal, the French mathematician, philosopher and, above all, Christian, whose 400th birthday was commemorated in 2023. It presents contributions from a conference at Charles Universitys Faculty of Humanities, showing Pascal in dialogue with Ren Descartes, as an embodiment of the free spirit in the sense of Nietzsches middle period, as an inspiration for the existentially oriented philosophies of Sren Kierkegaard and Romano Guardini, and as a thinker who still confronts us with the feeling of cosmic horror from fragment 72 of the Penses. Pascal also appears as a thinker seemingly absent from Heideggers concept of the history of Being, only to emerge in a surprising constellation of the epoch of actualitas. His thought proves to be still alive, in its own way current, and certainly inspiring. The contents are in Czech.
