Still flipping through. Like most Cambridge companions, relatively solid. This one (so far) has not been spectacular. I hoped for more juice from Tony McKenna's essay on Pascal's historical reception (it's fine scholarship), and there's more on Pascal's science than I want (not their fault). I will return to this review when I have read more, but my overall assessment is that this is not a volume that captures the *excitement* Pascal generates -- his seeing eye, his austerity, his wit. That's a tall order for a Cambridge Companion, and probably not anything I have a right to expect (12.21.07)
