Blaise Pascal, Pensees - Correcting By Revealing One-Sidedness - Sadler's Lectures

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

Categories:

This lecture discusses the 16th century philosopher, theologian, and mathematician, Blaise Pascal, and focuses on his work, the Pensees. Specifically it discusses his advice about how to get a person to accept criticism or correction. Pascal notes that nobody wants to be told he or she is simply wrong about an issue, but people are willing to admit that their view of matters is one-sided.
