A SUBJETIVIDADE E A BUSCA PELA FELICIDADE NO PENSAMENTO DE BLAISE PASCAL

Abstract

Considering the concepts of boredom, divertissement, self forgetfulness
and self-love, this text intends to show how the search of the self for happiness leads to a
fundamental problem, that of the self in front of its creator. It is argued here that the
human condition, as Pascal understands it, is crucial to thinking about the question of
human subjectivity. Thus, the purpose of the text is highlight the tensions between
boredom and subjectivity.
