 abstract={Pascal, an insightful reader of Michel de Montaigne, is a philosophical skeptic. However, his skepticism is not a goal, but a tool leading to an intuition of futility and a philosophical anthropology that reveals human misery. The presentation of man as a tainted being is the basis for an attack on the pure self which, according to René Descartes’ program, was considered a point immune to skeptical criticism. The rejection of the ego cogito makes possible eschatology in which salvation is possible through the abandonment of the self and devotion to God.Pascal, an insightful reader of Michel de Montaigne, is a philosophical skeptic.
