Abstract: Res Cogitans - dialogue between Art, Philosophy and Science wants to be an annual festival that intends to attend, enhance and promote the common cultural space between art, philosophy and science. It wants to be a crossroads between the fields of human thought, a moment of encounter and dialoguing reflection, an opportunity for multidisciplinary investigation. The idea is to decline themes without the ideological fences that are often present between humanistic, scientific and artistic cultures. The aim is to be able to propose an interpretation that can vary with continuity between knowledge. This volume contains the proceedings of a series of public meetings on the figure of Blaise Pascal, mathematician, physicist, philosopher, theologian, but also computer scientist ante litteram, as well as engineer. Many themes are addressed, taking their cue from the french thinker's innumerable interests and, therefore, brought up to date in order to make them a possible tool for investigating the dynamics of our time.
