Pascal et le déséquilibre

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  02 December 2020

Jean-Jacques Demorest*
Affiliation:
Cornell University Ithaca, N. Y

Extract

“Alas for this infirm faith, this will not strenuous, this vast ebb of a vast flow! I am God in nature; I am a weed by the wall” (Essays I, “Circles”). “Motion or change, and identity or rest are the first and second secrets of Nature: Motion and Rest” (Essays II, “Nature”). La résonance et le fond sont pascaliens; mais Emerson, très attentif aux accidents de la compensation, pourrait aussi bien répondre que ce n'est pas dans Pascal, c'est en lui-même qu'il trouve tout ce qu'il y voit.
