Abstract

The author notes that Pascal, given the peculiarities of the publication and translation of his works, existed in the minds of readers rather as a literary phenomenon. Such an attitude dominated primarily in France, where Pascal's work was undoubtedly considered to be the sphere of interest of philologists and literary critics. But serious scholar interest in Pascal was practiced only in the field of philosophy. Philologists, on the other hand, gave Pascal a place mainly in historical surveys of French classicism and moralistic literature. This ambivalence is not least due to the ambivalence of Pascal's own attitude to philosophy. The author concludes that Thoughts is not just an unfinished work, but also a collection of fragments that were originally created as fragments. Thus, we may consider two strategies of reading Thoughts, neither of which is dominant, as well as about the genre ambiguity of this work.

帕斯卡尔笔谈中的表演诗学（表演性是解决帕斯卡尔笔谈艺术性问题的一种方法）

作者指出，鉴于帕斯卡尔作品出版和翻译的特殊性，他在读者心目中更像是一种文学现象。这种态度主要在法国占主导地位，在法国，帕斯卡尔的作品无疑被认为是语言学家和文学评论家感兴趣的领域。但是，学者们对帕斯卡尔的真正兴趣只存在于哲学领域。而语言学家则主要在法国古典主义和道德主义文学的历史研究中给予帕斯卡尔一席之地。这种矛盾的态度与帕斯卡尔本人对哲学的矛盾态度不无关系。作者的结论是，《思索》不仅是一部未完成的作品，也是一部最初作为片段创作的片段集。因此，我们可以考虑两种解读《思索》的策略，这两种策略都不占主导地位，同时也可以考虑这部作品的体裁模糊性。

期刊介绍： Sententiae is historico-philosophical open access journal. Journal created by Modern philosophy''s research group (Pascalian society). Founded in 2000. Published twice a year, in June and December. Our purpose is to foster the development of a wide gamut of contemporary approaches, active implementation of them into research practice, and establishment of high standards of teaching philosophy basing on the achievements of contemporary history of philosophy. Our key priority is to ensure the empirical substantiation of historico-philosophical conceptions, basing on the criteria of literality, exhaustivity, contextuality and taking into account the existing speculative interpretations. Jean-Luc Marion was the first to formulate this set of criteria in 1998 as the main features of contemporary researches of Descartes''s philosophy. We regard these principles as the methodological background of any substantiated research method in the history of philosophy. Publishing materials on all historico-philosophical topics, we pay special attention to researches in terminology, issues of philosophical translation and untranslatability, manuscript researches (including handwritten heritage of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy professors of ХVІІ–ХVІІІ century), and cover the development of large-scale projects in this area. We also publish new bilingual and commented Ukrainian translations of classical foreign philosophical texts. Among our priorities there is also a coverage of the history of philosophical thought in Ukraine and other Eastern European countries and its relations to the wider cultural context (theology, literature, natural sciences, political ideology etc). The content of each issue is distributed according to Genre Sections and Thematic Headings. Currently there are 10 Genre Sections.
