- 2024.

After analyzing the mode of appearance of philosophy, the philosophical interest of the Pensées is explored in this paper through the anthropological triad of desire, truth, and happiness, as it appears in fragment 20. This fragment is studied philosophically from the point of view of the acts of thought it contains, both in terms of anthropology and openness to religion. The study of this fragment contributes to affirming Pascal’s place in the history of philosophy.
