Abstract

This article delves into Blaise Pascal's religious philosophy, focusing on his use of the phrase "Scio cui credidi" (I know whom I have believed) to explore his understanding of faith. It analyzes Pascal's "Memorial" and the "Summary of the Life of Jesus Christ", highlighting how Christ is central to Pascal's belief system. The discussion reveals the transformational nature of Pascal's faith, particularly after his mystical experience on November 23, 1654. This experience is crucial in understanding his shift from a philosophical to a deeply personal, Christ-centered faith. The article underscores Pascal's journey from a scientific and philosophical perspective to an intimate, emotional resonance with Christian faith, demonstrating how his personal encounters with the divine profoundly shaped his religious perspective.
