Blaise Pascal was one of the great geniuses of humanity and developed important works as a physicist, inventor, philosopher, and Catholic thinker. Born in France, while still young, he was responsible for significant advancements in the study of fluids, natural and applied sciences, and particularly in mathematics, being one of the precursors of probability analysis. From a mystical experience in 1654, he began to dedicate himself intensely to philosophy and theology, areas in which he also excelled. His work ‘Pensées’ condenses his worldview into faith and spirituality. In it, we find what is probably his most quoted phrase: ‘The heart has its reasons, of which reason knows nothing.’
