Pascal is a more fitting philosopher for the modern age than Descartes because of his pragmatic approach and epistemic humility.

“Pascal is probably maybe a better philosopher or or sort of a more a philosopher more attuned to the modern age and to our sort of modern sentiments than uh than Daycart.”

Pascal believed that human reason has inherent limitations and is not a limitless tool for mastering the world.

“Pascal is very aware of people like Daycart and others who feel that reason is sort of limitless in its ability to understand and control and master the world. But Pascal is convinced that reason has its limits.”
