« L’infinité en petitesse » : Pascal et Dostoïevski

This study approaches the phenomenon hidden by the notion of the fragment in its correlations with the part and the whole and the finite and the infinite, while paying particular attention to the figures of two-fold limitlessness (that of the opening of the visible part and the totality which cannot be grasped), contact, and participation, comparing the work of Pascal and Dostoevsky.
