GOMEZ-SERNA, José Daniel y GIRALDO-ZULUAGA, Conrado. "Cura Amoris" in Blaise Pascal: An Ethical-Anthropological Reading of Pensées. Escritos - Fac. Filos. Let. Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2019, vol.27, n.59, pp.198-221. Epub 04-Abr-2020. ISSN 0120-1263. https://doi.org/10.18566/escr.v27n59.a01.
The article suggests an ethical-anthropological reading of Thoughts, magna opera of the French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal, which was published after his death by his relatives and friends. Such a reading is presented in three moments: Firstly, an anthropological description aimed at answering the question 'who is man?'; secondly, an analysis of Pascal's erotic condition; and, finally, an ethical proposal as cura amoris (care for love). The main argument of the article is that every human being has a motivation in acting, that of love and being loved. Thus, having a happy or unhappy life depends on the care for this erotic condition, and the latter is achieved through thought.
