Focusing on the philosophies of Jacqueline Pascal, Gilberte Pascal Périer, and Marguerite Périer, this book highlights their distinct intellectual contributions, often overshadowed by their famous male relative, Blaise Pascal. Rather than merely serving as his disciples or caretakers, each woman cultivated her own philosophical perspective, which is explored in depth. This study offers a fresh examination of their ideas, revealing the significance of their voices in the broader context of philosophical discourse.

Exploring the moral teachings of Pope John Paul II, this book is divided into two parts. The first examines the Pope's moral theory within a broader theological context, highlighting the philosophical attitudes that inform his perspective. The second part delves into applied ethics, addressing tensions between the Church's teachings and contemporary academic and state viewpoints. The conclusion features a homily that frames the Pope's ethics within themes of repentance and redemption, emphasizing that true moral understanding is rooted in God's grace rather than human effort.
