ANTI-INTUICIONISMO E ANTIFUNDACIONISMO: O PAPEL DA IMAGINAÇÃO NA EPISTEMOLOGIA DE PASCAL

Pascal , through a critical approach of the discursive reason which was in his time in the process of being consecrated , asserts a broader conception of rationality, which is extended by a radical anti-intuitionist and anti-foundationist perspective to realms of reality that were left out by the Cartesian epistemology. The hypothesis we would like to discuss is that this subversion takes place through the destabilization of such epistemology by the Pascalian description, in Pensées, of the faculty of imagination, whose relevance in the investigation of the truth one must consider in order to understand the inflection of the Pascalian epistemology vis-à-vis the others of his time
