| Summary: | This study will analyze the eighth part of Pascal’s Pensées ("Divertissement") and put in light that it forms a specific kind of relationship to oneself, that occurred before our present subjectivity. In that purpose, we must consider the autographs and have a method to get the text readable, with figured copies. On that basis, it may be shown that pascalian personal interior is an inside desert space, left by god : in the "man without God", the inside of the heart is an infinite empty hole and the knowledge of oneself is a perception of one’s nothingness.
