Blaise Pascal - If We Dreamt The Same Thing - Sadler's Shorts

Sadler's Lectures - A podcast by Lectures on classic and contemporary philosophical texts and thinkers by Gregory B. Sadler

Categories:

This is a short reflection on an insightful passage from Blaise Pascal's Pensees, section 386, in which he muses about the difference between waking and dreaming, and what it would be like for us if we dreamed consistently the same thing. This has significant implications for us in our present environment, in which we can arrange and choose to have the same images flooding us through television and films, games, and social media.
