Blaise Pascal

Pascal is depicted as a mathematician studying a geometric diagram engraved on the tablet he holds in front of him. His activity as a philosopher is suggested by the titles of his books, Letters to a Provincial and Thoughts on Religion.帕斯卡被刻画为一名数学家，正专注研究自己举在身前的石板上镌刻的几何图形。其作为哲学家的学术活动，可通过其两部著作的书名——《致外省人信札》与《宗教沉思录》——得到佐证。
