No full textAt certe videre videor. Cartesio alla prova di Pascal
No full textThe author proposes a comparison between Descartes and Pascal starting from the common pathic background in which the theory is generated for both. And yet, despite the common basis, Pascal's difference emerges even more acutely and goes in the direction of a radical exposition of the subject

Samuel Beckett and the Writers of Port-Royal
No full textIt has been observed that ‘the literary influences on Beckett have been far more important than has been acknowledged, and more important indeed, than the philosophical influences’ (Smith 2002: 3). The truth of this statement is evidenced by the description that scholars have given of Samuel Beckett’s relationship to seventeenth century French classicism. To date, critical interest has been limited for the most part to the figure of the philosopher René Descartes on the (fragile) grounds that Beckett was exclusively concerned with the Cartesian imperative of clarity and order, the fundamental dualism between body and mind, and Nominalism.
Together with the assumption that Beckett’s vision was essentially Cartesian, his literary filiation with Pascal was suggested by critics, but only in terms of Beckett’s formal approach to the theatre. In his short article on En attendant Godot in 1953, the playwright Jean Anouilh was among the first reviewers to suggest that Beckett’s drama synthesizes the encounter between ‘classicism’ and a ‘modern’ form of art. It is well known that Beckett retained a lifelong admiration for Pascal – indeed, Pascal was one of his ‘old chestnuts’ (Knowlson 1997: 653). Little attention has been paid, however, to the originality of Pascal’s thought, the specific nature of his prose, and the impact these might have had upon Beckett’s mature work, especially the trilogy and the subsequent short prose. Yet, in the literary and philosophical context of post-war France, Beckett’s filiation with Pascal, their corresponding preoccupations, were evident to his contemporaries, who identified Pascal as an underlying presence in his works
L'ordine dell'amore in Blaise Pascal

Platone per disporre a Pascal
No full textPrendendo spunto dal frammento di Pascal «Platone per disporre al cristianesimo», l’autrice intercetta una nuova disposizione di Platone a Pascal, basata sull’ordine dell’amore che per entrambi è centrale. Questa operazione ha un duplice scopo: consentire a Pascal di essere incluso nel campo della filosofia e valorizzare l’invenzione platonica della philo-sophiaTaking a cue from Pascal’s fragment «Platon pour disposer au christia- nisme», the author sets a new disposition of Plato to Pascal, based on the order of love that both philosophers present. This operation has a double philosophical aim: to allow Pascal to be included in the field of philosophy and to valorise the Platonic invention of philo-sophia
First person - Aude Pascal
No full textInternational audienceFirst Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Aude Pascal is first author on `Annexin A2 and Ahnak control cortical NuMA-dynein localization and mitotic spindle orientation', published in JCS. Aude is a research assistant in the lab of Re ' gis Giet at University of Rennes, France, who is particularly interested in developmental biology. She has always been struck by the fact that a whole organism displaying multiple functions arises from a single cell. For this reason, she has oriented her research on mitosis and meiosis to study the different steps, components and structures involved in these processes
Pascal Tutorial, 1987
No full textThere exists a limited number of tutorials for the Pascal programming language using the Apple Computer. The demand for these tutorials exceeds the supply. In this thesis an attempt was made to rectify this shortage by designing a Pascal tutorial for the Apple computer. This Pascal tutorial is designed to assist with instructing an introductory computer programming course in Pascal, incorporating Apple Superpilot as the authoring language. Emphasis is placed on making the program "user friendly." A person with no previous programming experience should be able to easily execute this tutorial. The information presented as the subject matter of the tutorial will follow the guidelines recommended by the Association for Computing Machinery
