L'étude de la notion de corps chez Pascal permet de rendre compte de la cohérence des différents aspects de sa réflexion, en relation avec son expérience. Elle montre que son apologétique prend appui sur le corps, instrument du salut dont l'homme peut user pour se libérer de son moi et s'ouvrir à Dieu.

Jean-Alexandre Perras, L'Exception exemplaire - Inventions et usages du génie (XVIe-XVIIIe siècle)
Submitted by ccarlin on 6 March 2016 - 5:40pmParis, Classiques Garnier, 2016. ISBN 978-2-8124-3896-7. 49€.
Entre les débats linguistiques du xvie siècle et les panthéonisations intempestives de la Révolution, l'histoire du génie est agonistique. Pivot entre l'individuel et le collectif, le génie est exceptionnel et exemplaire. Ce n'est pas le moindre de ses paradoxes de n'être jamais vraiment «para-doxal».
