Many Pensées attempt to describe the life of social man. Far from immediately indicting man, Pascal describes him: he maps out the figure of a “moi” (self) who, not being able to predicate himself as he pleases, must scheme to become what he cannot be, even if it means completely expropriating himself in order to cling to the lives of others. We will study this invariant phenomenon, by identifying the investment of a grammar entrusted with espousing the tactics of the “moi” as closely as possible.
