Blaise Pascal on Duplicity, Sin, and the Fall - Wood, William (Fellow and Tutor in Theology, Oriel College, Oxford)

This book explains Pascal's understanding of the cognitive consequences of the Fall. For Pascal, the self is a fiction, constructed from without by an already duplicitous world. Drawing on the Pensées, William Wood demonstrates, by exegetical argument and constructive example, that 'Pascalian' theology is both possible and fruitful.
