This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on Blaise Pascal's unfinished work, the Pensées, specifically on his discussion of what "tyranny" - including but going beyond the political sense - consists in. In his view, the basis of tyranny is the desire to dominate beyond one's own area of legitimate value, competence, or scope.
