Pascal's theme of man and its development in existential philosophy
The article reconstructs the image of man in Pascal's philosophy and compares it with the relevant themes of modern existential philosophy. The author identifies a number of key features of the image of man in Pascal's philosophy: 1) the transience of human existence in the light of the infinity of the world; 2) the impossibility of human comprehension of infinity, which gives rise to man’s existential anxiety of, on the one hand, enclosure in his own existence and, on the other, dissolving in the infinity of the world; 3) man's turning to knowing himself as a way to cope with such an anxiety. The author compares these features with the image of man in the existential philosophy of the twentieth century and argues that they are also characteristic of the latter. On this ground, the author states that Pascal's doctrine and twentieth-century existential philosophy are related.
期刊介绍:
Sententiae is historico-philosophical open access journal. Journal created by Modern philosophy''s research group (Pascalian society). Founded in 2000. Published twice a year, in June and December. Our purpose is to foster the development of a wide gamut of contemporary approaches, active implementation of them into research practice, and establishment of high standards of teaching philosophy basing on the achievements of contemporary history of philosophy. Our key priority is to ensure the empirical substantiation of historico-philosophical conceptions, basing on the criteria of literality, exhaustivity, contextuality and taking into account the existing speculative interpretations. Jean-Luc Marion was the first to formulate this set of criteria in 1998 as the main features of contemporary researches of Descartes''s philosophy. We regard these principles as the methodological background of any substantiated research method in the history of philosophy. Publishing materials on all historico-philosophical topics, we pay special attention to researches in terminology, issues of philosophical translation and untranslatability, manuscript researches (including handwritten heritage of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy professors of ХVІІ–ХVІІІ century), and cover the development of large-scale projects in this area. We also publish new bilingual and commented Ukrainian translations of classical foreign philosophical texts. Among our priorities there is also a coverage of the history of philosophical thought in Ukraine and other Eastern European countries and its relations to the wider cultural context (theology, literature, natural sciences, political ideology etc). The content of each issue is distributed according to Genre Sections and Thematic Headings. Currently there are 10 Genre Sections.
