Nowa Seria}, howpublished={online}, year={2023}, publisher={Komitet Nauk Filozoficznych PAN}, publisher={Wydział Filozofii Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego}, abstract={The paper discusses philosophical problems arising from a philosophical confusion caused by a careless use of the concepts: rhetoric, sophistry, casuistry. Although Pascal had not been personally responsible for creating this confusion, he used these terms as did his contemporaries, which means, he used them erroneously. His reckless manner of expressing his opinions led him to a distorted interpretation of the controversy between the rigorists and the laxists. This confusion was resolved only a few decades ago, in the context of bioethical discussions. The corrected version of the debate throws a new light on the views supported by the Jansenists, Jesuits and Dominicans of the 17th century.}, title={Sophistry and Casuistry}, type={Artykuł}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/134633/PDF/2023-04-PFIL-12.pdf}, doi={10.24425/pfns.2023.148654}, keywords={casuistry, ethics based on principles, fault, grace, pilpul, rhetoric, salvation, sophistry}, }
