Même la Trinité : Descartes, Pascal et Saint-ÂÂAnge
686-714 p.
Even the Trinity: Descartes, Pascal and SaintAnge. Descartes and Pascal provide two remarkable accounts of the state of natural theology around 1650. In both cases, the theme is that of the limits and challenges of natural theology. But, in Descartes as in Pascal, it is above all a criticism of the abusive use of natural theology by some authors who are unaware of the real stakes of this discipline and therefore ignore its limits. In order to appreciate the relevance of this twofold account, the Author proposes to identify one of these authors criticized by Descartes and Pascal in the fairly unknown figure of Jacques Forton, sieur de SaintAnge.
