«Trois discours sur la condition des Grands» is a philosophical essay by Blaise Pascal published by Folio in paperback (176 pages, in French).
Written around 1660 for the future Duke of Chevreuse, the three discourses argue that the condition of the great does not stem from natural qualities but from chance and custom. Pascal distinguishes between greatness of establishment, which deserves civil respect, and natural greatness, founded on talent or virtue.
The volume brings together the three discourses with six liasses taken from «Pensées». Includes a dossier by Katia Genel and an image reading by Seloua Luste Boulbina; Folioplus philosophie collection.
For readers of political philosophy and of Pascal's thought; the collection's didactic material facilitates study of the text.
Blaise Pascal was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, philosopher, and Catholic writer.
