I consider two contexts of its use: one, immanent to Pascal’s Les Pensées, and the other characteristic for the Native American culture. This juxtaposition reveals not only an affinity between them, but also makes it possible to formulate an indication for the contemporaries to practice philosophy in the original sense of the phrase: ‘the love of wisdom’.}, title={Distant and Close Affinities of Pascal’s Philosophy}, type={Artykuł}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/134653/PFIL-32.pdf}, doi={10.24425/pfns.2023.148674}, keywords={affinity, affirmation of life, dividuality, Native Americans, B.
