 abstract={By designating to the heart a separate and efficient human cognitive power Blaise Pascal singled out a group of ideas that make his thought an inspiration for philosophical reflection and a subject of lively discussions. However, over 350 years of research on this issue proved less than is needed to develop a uniform interpretation of his position. The article presents some of the most important views on the relationship between the order of the mind and the order of the heart. Through the centuries, an interpretation that attributed irrationality to Pascal was dominant. But in the later time several other opinions were developed side by side with the old one. Today a variety of views is supported. Some scholars emphasize rationality of cognition which they attribute even to the heart. Other stress vacillations of reason. Still other find in Pascal’s thought a belief in the integral operation of all human cognitive faculties. There is little hope that a single, uniform interpretation of Pascal’s philosophy will ever be available.},
