内容简介
帕斯卡为一部基督教辩护所留下的残稿；那部书因他的死而终未写成。
背景与流传
帕斯卡一六六二年去世，年三十九，身后留下数百则残稿——那是为一部他终究没有写成的基督教辩护而作的。有的是完整的段落，有的只有三个字；他把它们捆成一束一束，那些捆扎透露出他原先设想的次序。因此我们所读到的，无一不是编者所排定的顺序；而每一版排法各异——正因如此，各版的残篇编号并不相合，引用时必须说明所据何本。此中有那场“赌注”，有“心有其理，为理智所不知”，有作为“会思想的芦苇”的人，也有那无限空间的永恒沉默。注意：本目录收有此书的两种英译，《Pascal's Pensées》与《The Thoughts of Blaise Pascal》。这并非错误——它们是不同的版本——但须知道：同一则残稿会出现两次，文字不同，编号也不同。
这是编辑性背景，不是可引用的来源：与作品本身的段落不同，这些说明无法在语料库中核对。
And men of intuition who are only intuitive cannot have the patience to reach to first principles of things speculative and conceptual, which they have never seen in the world, and which are altogether out of the common. There are different kinds of right understanding;[2] some have right understanding in a certain order of things, and not in others, where they go astray. Some draw conclusions well from a few premises, and this displays an acute judgment. Others draw conclusions well where there are many premises. For example, the former easily learn hydrostatics, where the premises are few, but the conclusions are so fine that only the greatest acuteness can reach them. And in spite of that these persons would perhaps not be great mathematicians, because mathematics contain a great number of premises, and there is perhaps a kind of intellect that can search with ease a few premises to the bottom, and cannot in the least penetrate those matters in which there are many premises. There are then two kinds of intellect: the one able to penetrate acutely and deeply into the conclusions of given premises, and this is the precise intellect; the other able to comprehend a great number of premises without confusing them, and this is the mathematical intellect. The one has force and exactness, the other comprehension. Now the one quality can exist without the other; the intellect can be strong and narrow, and can also be comprehensive and weak. Those who are accustomed to judge by feeling do not understand the process of reasoning, for they would understand at first sight, and are not used to seek for principles.…
