Mathématicien ou philosophe ? Théologien ou physicien ? Pascal était tout cela à la fois, ce qui en fait un des esprits les plus brillants de son temps. Figure intellectuelle majeure du XVIIe siècle, Pascal demeure aujourd'hui une référence en matière de réflexion sur Dieu, sur l'infini, sur l'inconnu. Ses recherches ont contribué à faire avancer les sciences dures autant que ses fameuses Pensées ont amené ses contemporains à s'interroger sur leur rapport au spirituel.
