What Dominique Pagani says
Dominique Pagani first defines salvation in contrast to happiness. He presents it as the value of Pascal's century: salvation does not aim at earthly fulfilment; it refers to a reality other than happiness1. It is a religious and sacred concept, located beyond death, whereas happiness belongs to earthly life2. He compares the beatitude promised after death to the suppression of desire in Buddhism: in both cases, an unhappy consciousness receives a negative answer3. From another angle, he states that there is no solitary salvation: salvation is found only in the relation to another consciousness4. Speaking of redemption, he points out that there is no Easter without a descent into hell and quotes the phrase "ad augusta per angusta": fulfilment passes through narrowness5.
