Description
The history of criticism, particularly in the 19th century, has tended to portray Pascal as an author who was the victim of serious intellectual and medical disorders, as evidenced by the appearance of the manuscript of his Pensées (owned by the BNF). An examination of this manuscript leads to different conclusions, both literary and psychological.
