Pascal Pensees - The Infinite Sphere, Its Circumference, And Its Center - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses the 16th century philosopher, theologian, and mathematician, Blaise Pascal, and focuses on his work, the Pensees.

Specifically it discusses the passage in which he writes: "C’est une sphère infinie dont le centre est partout, la circonférence nulle part" (71, in the Léon Brunschvicg edition). As it turns out, this expression has a history, and Pascal also adds to the concepts involved in a few other passages.
