Pascal’s Theological Existentialism and Our Civilizational Turmoil

Keywords

Existentialism, irrationalism, skepticism, divine grace, leap of faith, civilizational malaise, Urdu.

Abstract

This paper discusses Pascal’s concepts of God, human misery, fear, and other existentialist themes. His intellectual journey and its outcomes are thought to have been very significant in understanding and combating major existential problems of our age, namely skepticism, and atheism. In this context, the global civilizational turmoil manifesting in multiple forms like anguish, depression, melancholy, grief, spiritual barrenness, confusion, pain, fear, horrible existential nihilism, and being cultural uprootedness found in contemporary discourse can learn a lot from Pascal’s theological existentialism. The author holds that a fresh debate in Urdu needs to be initiated around the theological existentialism.
