This lecture discusses the 16th century philosopher, theologian, and mathematician, Blaise Pascal, and focuses on his work, the Pensees. 

Specifically it discusses his conception of the three orders, namely those of bodies or flesh, the mind and knowledge, and the will or love.  There are people primarily focused on and oriented to the matters of each of these orders. The orders are incommensurable with each other, differing not only in object but also in value

This is discussed primarily in sections 460 and 793 in the Brunschvicg edition.
