ПАСКАЛЬ БЛЕЗ
Pascal Blaise (1623–1662)
French mathematician and physicist, one of the founders of the theory of probability. The evolution of his views was contradictory. He combined outstanding discoveries in the natural sciences with religious fanaticism and scepticism directed against science and rational knowledge. His logical views continued Descartes' teaching on method and exerted influence on the logic of Port Royal. Pascal's struggle against the spiritual tyranny of the Jesuits was supported by advanced sections of French society. His main work was Pensées (published posthumously in 1669).
