  "abstract": "In the Pensées, Pascal does not rely on the argument from authority – which he regards as purely external and of little relevance to reasoning – nor does he appeal merely to the voice of reason, which is purely immanent; instead, he appeals to that within us which does not originate in us: the desire for God. In doing so, he masterfully combines externality and interiority, persuasion and freedom. Furthermore, by averting the danger of the sophistic subversion inherent in any art of persuasion, the apologist pioneers a new rhetoric: that of the order of the heart. This rhetoric respects the freedom of God, who allows Himself to be found, and the freedom of man, who allows himself to be persuaded – because the light comes, in large measure, from within himself. As Pascal puts it, all that was missing was the knowledge that the light was there.",
