It occurs in the theological writings of Malebranche, who had picked it up from Pascal, and in the writings of Malebranche's pupil, Montesquieu, who contrasted volonté particulière and volonté générale in a secular sense in his most celebrated chapter ( Chapter XI ) of De L ' Esprit des Lois ( 1748 ).

Pascal is an influential imperative and procedural programming language, designed in 1968 – 1969 and published in 1970 by Niklaus Wirth as a small and efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring.

The Multum port was developed – with a view to using Pascal as a systems programming language – by Findlay, Cupples, Cavouras and Davis, working at the Department of Computing Science in Glasgow University.

In response, Arnauld wrote Théologie morale des Jésuites ( Moral Theology of the Jesuits ), which was the basis of most of the arguments later used by Pascal in his Provincial Letters denouncing the " relaxed morality " of Jesuitism.

With his composition of L ' Europe galante he was the true genius of the opéra-ballet, a musical genre originated by Pascal Colasse ( in his Ballet des saisons ).

The first was published in 1945 by Société des Éditions Pascal in two volumes.

In addition to all these he published Denkwürdigkeiten aus der Geschichte des Christentums ( 1823-1824, 2 vols., 1825, 3 vols., 1846 ); Das Eine und Mannichfaltige des christlichen Lebens ( 1840 ); papers on Plotinus, Thomas Aquinas, Theobald Thamer, Blaise Pascal, John Henry Newman, Blanco White and Thomas Arnold, and other occasional pieces ( Kleine Gelegenheitsschriften, 1829 ), mainly of a practical, exegetical and historical character.

Furthermore, in the frame of the controversy around Jansenius ' Augustinus, during which the Jesuits attacked the Jansenists claiming they were heretics similar to Calvinists, Arnauld wrote in defense the Théologie morale des Jésuites ( Moral Theology of Jesuits ), which would put the base of most of the arguments later used by Pascal in his Provincial Letters denouncing the " relaxed moral " of Jesuit casuistry.

He then studied landscape and horticulture at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and architectural history and landscape architecture in the atelier of Jean-Louis Pascal at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, with diplomé in 1899.

Brilliantly written by Pascal, the Provincial Letters would not have been possible without the work of theologians from Port-Royal ; indeed, most of the arguments Pascal deployed were already to be found in Arnauld's Théologie morale des Jésuites, something which led the Jesuit Nicolas Caussin to reply to Pascal's perceived libel.

Furthermore, Pascal ridiculed the attempt of Etienne Bauny, author of a Somme des péchés qui se commettent en tous états ( Paris, 1634 ), to use Aristotle to justify this doctrine of sin ( which could, according to Bauny, only be effective if man possessed the knowledge of the action ).

In the hands of Blaise Pascal hydrostatics assumed the dignity of a science, and in a treatise on the equilibrium of liquids ( Sur l ' equilibre des liqueurs ), found among his manuscripts after his death and published in 1663, the laws of the equilibrium of liquids were demonstrated in the most simple manner, and amply confirmed by experiments.
