In this video, we explore the remarkable life and philosophy of Blaise Pascal. Beginning his life as a prodigy in math and science and then transitioning into an obsession with religion and philosophy, Pascal's life and work are both astounding and historically material. His acclaimed book, Pensées, and his famous wager, Pascal's wager, are rife with opportunity for thought and reflection.
