While these women have long been presented as the disciples, secretaries, correspondents, and nurses of their brother and uncle, each woman developed a distinctive philosophy that is more than auxiliary to the thought of Blaise Pascal. The unique philosophical voice of each Pascal woman is studied in \u003ci\u003eThe Other Pascals\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the headmistress of the Port-Royal convent school, Jacqueline Pascal made important contributions to the philosophy of education. Gilberte Pascal P rier wrote the first philosophical biographies of Blaise and Jacqueline. Marguerite P rier defended freedom of conscience against coercion by political and religious superiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach of these women authors speaks in a gendered voice, emphasizing the right of women to develop a philosophical and theological culture and to resist commands to blind obedience by paternal, political, or ecclesiastical authorities. \u003ci\u003eThe Other Pascals\u003c\/i\u003e will be of keen interest to readers interested in early modern philosophy, history, literature, and religion. The book will also appeal to those with an interest in women's studies and French studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John J.
