Description
This scholarly study examines Pascal's integrated theory of persuasion through the lens of human desire and volition. The book demonstrates how Pascal's philosophical treatment of the will functions as a vehicle for both persuasion and poetics, offering essential insights into his complete body of work. By establishing will as fundamental to Pascal's anthropology and rhetorical practice, the author provides a nuanced interpretation that bridges philosophy, rhetoric, and emotional persuasion. Published by Routledge as part of the Studies in Philosophy series, this work explores the semantic complexity of volonte and its role in understanding Pascal's broader philosophical project, making it invaluable for scholars of early modern philosophy, rhetoric, and the history of Western thought.
