This research would not have been possible without the
assiduous help of those who have contributed to its accomplishment. It
is my delight to recall all of them who journeyed with me since the
start. At first, I found it hard to consider what topic to write. Yet,
because of them, this venture has been realized. For that reason, it
indeed deserves mentioning them.

CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
1.1.
Introduction
Everyone in life has problems.1 We all receive challenges and
lessons to learn.2 How you cope is the true test of what kind of person
you are.3 Most of us, if not all, try to cope with a number of challenges
with activities that would divert our minds from them. This is what the
two philosophers, Blaise Pascal and Michel de Montaigne, called a
diversion.
Our experiences manifest to us that we resort to diversion right
away when we are confronted with disquieting stuf4. We have a lot of
choices to take just to divert ourselves from this disquieting stuff. That
means, we have distinctive approaches with regard to diversion. With
these distinctive approaches, it is for that reason indispensable to

The disquieting stuff mentioned above would somehow take its ground
on existentialists concept of Angst. Angst is a German word which
means simply anxiety or fear, but in existential philosophy it has
acquired the more specific sense of having anxiety or fear as a result
of the paradoxical implications of human freedom. 8 However it is
conceived, it is treated as a universal condition of human existence,
underlying everything about us.9 Kierkegaard used the term dread to
describe the general apprehension and anxiety in human life. 10
According to Kierkegaard, dread is built into us as a means for God to
call us to make a commitment of a moral and spiritual way of life
despite the void of meaninglessness before us. 11 The dual problems of
constant choices and the responsibility for those choices can produce
angst in us.12 Martin Heidegger used the term angst as a reference
point for the individuals confrontation with the impossibility of finding
meaning in a meaningless universe and of finding rational justification

fallenness drives us toward self-deceptive diversions. 29 Finally, Pascals
analysis of boredom explicitly describes diversion as a kind of selfdeception. The truth about the real meaning of diversion is easily
grasped, and the fact that so few grasp it is the sign of the fall. 30 Lastly,
he said that what troubles Pascal is not that people enjoy diverting
activities, but that they persistently misunderstand their own desires. 31
They do not understand why they feel a ceaseless desire for
diversion.32 Similar to that of the latter, William Wood does not likewise
speak only of diversion in his book. That means he just mentioned in
his work briefly what diversion really is in the light of Pascal without
considering its entirety.
As to the diversion of Michel de Montaigne, Ann Hartle mentioned
how Montaigne dealt with his grief due to the death of his friend La

CHAPTER 2
Life, Works, and Influences
2.1. Michel de Montaigne
2.1.1. Life
The early life of Montaigne before starting his works on various
matters are said to be held in leash by his father. Michel Eyquem de
Montaigne, who was born near Bordeaux, France, was a French
essayist and skeptical philosopher.43 He was born on February 28,
1533. He was the third son, but by the death of his elder brothers he
21
became heir to the estate. His father, Pierre Eyquem, was a merchant
and his mother was a Spanish Jew. He received his training in language
through his fathers insistence to teach him Latin first. His father had
him awakened each morning by the sound of a musical instrument.
Servants who could speak no French were assigned to teach him Latin
orally before he had learned his native tongue. At the age of six, he
was sent to the College of Guienne at Bordeaux, where he remained
for seven years. In 1546, he was put in the study law. In 1554, his
father had secured a magistrates seat for him. He made frequent
visits to Paris, the city which made him French. 44 His married life is said
to be difficult, yet he strove to live with his family excellently despite
his daily struggles. In 1565, he married Francoise de la Chassaigne,
whose father was also a member of the Bourdeaux Parliament. His
daughter, Leonore, was the only one of the six children to survive
infancy. In 1568, upon the death of his father, he inherited the family
estate. In 1571, he abandoned the name of Eyquem, and lived a
tolerable life that is a burden neither to him nor to anyone else. 45
Shortly after he returned to his chateau, he was stricken with quinsy,
which brought about paralysis of the tongue. He remained in
possession of his other faculties and, on the evening of September 13,

Hazlitt (London: William Benton Encyclopedia Britannica, Inc., 1989), V.
22
1592, asked his wife, in writing, to call together some of his neighbors
so he might bid them farewell. He requested mass to be said in his
room, and died while it was being celebrated.46
2.1.2. Works
These are the works of Montaigne after choosing to live a tolerable life.
He had translated the Theologia Naturalis of Raymund of Sabunde, a
Spanish schoolman, at the request of his father. He prepared for
publication the works of Etienne de la Boetie, a friend of his youth,
whose death, in 1563, he felt as a great loss. He wrote the first two
volumes of The Essays, which were published in 1580 in Bordeaux. 47 In
the year following the publication of the Essays, he left his estate for
extensive travel to obtain relief from internal disorders that had been
troubling him. He journeyed through Lorraine, Switzerland, Bavaria,
and Italy. He traveled to Rome, where he had an audience with the
Pope and was made a Roman citizen. 48 He had begun to revise his
Essays almost immediately after their publication in 1580. In 1588, he
46 Ibid.

23
completed the work and re-issued a revised version of the first two
books together with a final volume of the essays written since 1580.49
In his Essays, Michel de Montaigne expressed a captivating version of
classical skepticism.50 Within the ancient writings of the skeptics,
Montaigne discovered a new way of viewing daily life. 51 Montaigne saw
himself as an unpremeditated philosopherone who was not
confined intellectually to some rigid set of ideas within which his
thought and life must be expressed.52
2.1.3. Influences
Montaigne has been a very influential figure of his time. His influence
has been diverse and widespread.
In the seventeenth century, it was his skepticism that proved
most influential among philosophers and theologians. After his death,
his friend Pierre Charron himself, a prominent Catholic theologian,
produced two works, Les Trois Vritez (1594) and La Sagesse (1601),

2.2.1. Life
Pascal was born at Clermont Ferrand in Auvergne on June 19,
1623. His father, Etienne Pascal, was once a lawyer in Paris and held
the post of President of the Court of Aids at Clermont. His mother, the
pious Antoinette Begon, died in 1626, leaving her husband to care for
Gilberte, Blaise, and the baby, Jacqueline. 58 In 1631, Etienne Pascal
sold his post and moved to Paris for the education of his son. Pascal
mastered Greek and Latin. At the age of twelve, he began geometry by
himself. Herewith, his father noticed his intelligence on this matter. 59 A
few years later, he still achieved greater reputation by his invention of
the first calculating machine, though his health was affected by his
intellectual work.60 Although the Pascal family had been regular and
respectful in their religious practice, religion was not especially
important in their lives until 1646 when they became acquainted with
Jansenism. Pascal, then only twenty-three, had his attention directed to
religious and theological questions, and he seemed to have been
influential in converting his whole family to the Jansenist version of

often parts of words only. These fragments, found after his death,
compose what has come to be known as his Penses, which were first
edited by the Jansenists in 1670 and constantly re-edited thereafter.67
2.2.3. Influences
Blaise Pascal was an influential mathematical writer, a master of the
French language, and a great religious philosopher (a person who
seeks wisdom).68 He began making contributions to mathematics at a
very young age.69 The computer programming language Pascal is
named after him.70 His religious works, "Lettres provinciales and the
Penses" had a religious influence all over France and created a new

CHAPTER 3
Blaise Pascals Concept of Diversion
Pascal
started
his
discussion
on
diversion
by
considering
the
32
he would have to make himself immortal; but, not
being able to do so, it has occurred to him to
prevent himself from thinking of death.73
3.1.2. Wretchedness
Pascal deliberated man as so wretched that he would weary even
without any cause for weariness and man is likewise so frivolous that
even playing billiards or hitting a ball is sufficient to amuse him. Thus,
for Pascal, even if we see ourselves happy, weariness would still not
fail to arise from the depths of the heart. In an instance, Pascal cited a
man who simply receives each morning the money even without
playing. That man remains miserable because he still seeks the
amusement of play and not the winnings. To this, Pascal said:
However full of sadness a man may be, he is happy
for the time, if you can prevail upon him to enter
into some amusement; and however happy a man
may be, he will soon be disconnected and
wretched, if he be not diverted and occupied by
some passion or pursuit which prevents weariness
from overcoming him.75
73 Ibid.
74 Pascal, loc. cit.
75 Ibid., 198-199.
33
34
35
Obviously, what Pascal referred to upon saying that what the world
thinks now is about dancing, playing, singing, etc., is primarily all
about diversion. In other words, diversion is what is given importance
in the world now.
36
Because of this, Pascal concluded that play and the society of women,
war and high posts, are so sought after. To him, these are sought not
that there are, in fact, any happiness in them, or that men imagine
true bliss to consist in money won at play, or in the hare which they
hunt, but because of the bustle which averts our thoughts and amuses
us. Pascal, likewise, concluded that because of this, men so much love
noise and stir, prison is so horrible a punishment, the pleasure of
solitude is a thing incomprehensible. Thats why, for Pascal, it is the
greatest source of happiness the condition of kings that men try
incessantly to divert them and to procure for them all kinds of
pleasures. For Pascal, this is true about a king:
The king is surrounded by persons whose only
thought is to divert the king and to prevent his
thinking of self. For, he is unhappy, king though he
be, if he thinks of himself.82
37
However, despite all our miseries, the only thing that would
console us from them is diversion. Yet, diversion is accordingly our
greatest misery likewise because it hinders us of thinking who we are
and for that reason ruins us in the end and eventually leads us to
82 Pascal, op. cit., 197.
83 Ibid., 196-197.
84 Ibid., 203.
38
3.3.3. Unhappiness
Pascal has discovered that when he set to thinking about the
various activities of men, the distractions, all the unhappiness of men
arises from one single fact that they cannot stay quietly in their own
chamber. Because of diversion, one can hardly stay quietly in his room.
In other words, Pascal considered diversion to be the cause of sadness,
because, to him, solitude is the source of happiness. This is what he
meant by staying quietly in ones room. This is given an example by
Pascal when he said:
A man wealthy enough for lifes needs would never
leave home to go to sea or besiege some fortress if
he knew how to stay at home and enjoy it. Men
would never spend so much on a commission in the
army if they could bear living in town all their lives
and they only seek after the company and
diversion of gambling because they do not enjoy
staying at home.86

by
citing
his
42
He, who dies in a battle, with a sword in his hand,
does not then think of death, he feels or considers
it not; the ardor of the fight diverts his thought
another way.89
There are a lot more occurrences related to both mentioned. Yet, of all
these occurrences, Montaigne would say that like circumstances
amuse, divert, and turn our thoughts from the consideration of the
thing in itself. Like so, diverting our thoughts yields to not thinking of
death at all. For that reason, Montaigne claims that death leads us
naturally to diversion.

means: The virgin, dazzled at beholding the glittering apple, and eager to
possess it stopped her career, and seized the rolling gold.
47
To Montaigne, Hipomenes did the same, by the second and the third,
till by so diverting her, and making her lose so much ground, he won
the race.
We see in the story cited by Montaigne, that Atlanta finally gave
herself to Hipomenes not because of her love, but because she was
diverted by the glittering apple used by Hipomenes to divert her. In
this sense, Atlanta was deceived by that glittering apple to which she
was so diverted. Hence, diversion as it was shown in the story could
likewise be the source of deception.

5.2. Divergences
5.2.1. Telos of Diversion
Both Pascal and Montaigne mentioned happiness as the telos of
diversion, although they considered it as feeble in the sense that for
51
Montaigne diversion does not really go to the root of the affliction and
likewise for Pascal diversion does not sustain the happiness of man
forever. Yet only Pascal went further as to the misery is concerned. For
Pascal, the only thing which consoles us for our miseries is diversion,
and yet this is the greatest of our miseries.
Pascal deliberated diversion to also be the greatest of our
miseries since it is this which principally hinders us from reflecting
upon ourselves and which makes us insensibly ruined. To him, without
diversion we should be in a state of weariness, and this weariness
would spur us to seek a more solid means of escaping from it.
5.2.2. Death
Pascal would emphasize that when we think of death, we become
so miserable. Death, as we all know, is an inevitable circumstance in
our life. And so, to be able to shun us from thinking about it, Pascal
would say that we naturally take diversion. However, for Pascal,
although we need diversion in order not to think about death, diversion
slowly leads us unconsciously to death. This makes Pascals notion of
death a bit different from that of Montaigne.
On the other hand, Montaigne simply considered diversion as a
means of not thinking of death. He has demonstrated his view on
death through examples to show the relevance of diversion to death.
One of the instances cited by Montaigne was about poor wretches who
diverted their attention by thinking of something to be able not to take
52
notice of the sharp lance that would be used to take away their lives.
The diversion of the poor wretches thoughts enabled them to forget
death because they were so amused with another thing like a child
who amuses himself by playing different things.
5.2.3. Mind
Both Pascal and Montaigne hold that the mind now is directed
towards consolations or something that amuses us. With this, Pascal
would say that the mind no longer considers how it is to be a man and
for Montaigne, this is the diseases of the mind being sometimes
diverted to other studies, thoughts, cares, and business. Thats why for
Montaigne, the mind does other concerns in order to decline and evade
something that is against it. Although both Pascal and Montaigne
similarly adequated the above mentioned, only Pascal went further

CHAPTER 6
Summary, Conclusion and Recommendation
6.1. Summary
What really is diversion? What is in diversion? These questions
are the reasons why this research is made feasible. By reading the
writings of Pascal and Montaigne about diversion, then surely these
two questions can be clarified.
Both Pascal and Montaigne presented their contention of
diversion in a manner that allows the reader to spot the reasons and
results of diversion. Pascal considered the four reasons of diversion.
They are the death, wretchedness, secret instincts, and feeble and
mortal condition. For Pascal, man takes diversion because of these
four. Furthermore, Pascal likewise mentioned in his writings the four
results of diversion. Principally, they are the feeble happiness, greatest
misery, unhappiness, and idle amusement. These four results can
really be experienced by man after taking diversion.

59
On the other hand, when Pascal said that the reason man cannot stay
quietly in his own room is because of diversion. I disagree because
diversion cannot be deliberated absolutely as such. Experience tells us
that there is something good in diversion. One cannot deny the need of
diversion. We play basketball after a long hour of work in order to free
ourselves from boredom and many more. This shows that there is
something good in diversion.
As to the question whether our choices affect diversion, Pascal
and Montaigne never tackled that. Both simply introduced the causes
and effects of diversion. Diversion for both is simply a transient cure of
ones ills. I can term it simply as a painkiller. When we have toothache,
for instance, we suddenly take a pain reliever. Accordingly, we are
immediately relieved. That means we are diverted. Hence, we are
happy. However the comfort will not last long. Again and again the pain
comes back. Thats why for Montaigne and Pascal, one should not
solely rely on it. Instead, one should confront the affliction itself,
according to Montaigne. For Pascal, it leads us slowly to death.
We cannot deny the fact that we are endowed with intellect. Our
minds form our decision. However, we may somehow impugn: what is
the relation of our intellect to diversion? First, our intellect enables us
to exercise diversion for one cannot divert, unless his mind confirms
what his body likes. Secondly, the mind decides so that when one is

62
6.3. Recommendations
Diversion is one of the essentials in life that enables us humans
to survive amidst various difficulties in life. However, taking a balance
approach on diversion is not an easy thing to consider. A lot of us
always choose stir than rest due to the fact that we hardly survive
without happiness. Having presented the concepts of diversion of
Pascal and Montaigne in its entirety, the researcher suggests that it
would be better to bolster our views on diversion by taking into
account the writings of Pascal and Montaigne. With that, the researcher
likewise suggests the readers to acquire a copy of Pascals and
Montaignes works. As for Pascals works, the researcher recommends
the readers to have a copy of Human Happiness, and The Provincial
Letters, Pensees, Scientific Treatises
