Descrizione

In this paper I analyze briefly the structure envisioned by Blaise Pascal for his Apologie, and I underline its divergence from other apologetic strategies in modern natural theology. Pascal’s argument in support of Christianity should be interpreted as an anthropological ‘proof’, one that is capable of activating a new praxis enlightened by the Christian interpretation of life. This kind of strategy is also typical of the so-called «anthropological turn» of twentieth-century theology. Two texts of Edward Schillebeeckx and Karl Rahner on secularization are analyzed and interpreted as ‘Pascalian’ in essence, thus highlighting the fecundity of Pascal’s thought for contemporaneity.
