Abstract
Two passages, both in the volume De l’Éducation d’un Prince, discuss Pascal’s views on proving the existence of God: one, in the title treatise, which refers explicitly to Pascal, another, in the treatise Des Preuves naturelles, in which Pascal is not mentioned by name but is plainly alluded to. The divergence of views between the two men is interesting.
