This paper examines how Pensées, when it is postulated as a text written in “le style naturel, ” opens up a “topos” for religious education. “Religious education” here refers to the scene which has the effect of promotion among those in the scene a realization of the the limitation of human existence and, moreover, of enhancing their spiritual attitude toward the transcendence.The present author examinees, first, the relationships among “le style naturel, ” “raison, ” “ordre” and “esprit de finesse”. “Le style naturel” presupposes reasonable understanding and, furthermore, leads to the transcendental truth through the realization of the limitation of “raison.” “Esprit de finesse” perceives the “advent/Advent” from the transcendence, and the discourse of “le style naturel” thus work upon readers “volonté” on top of their “raison.” The author, then, examines those discourses including “I” as an essential example of “le style naturel.” According to her interpretation, both an apologist and a libertine are textured in “I” in which they are independent as well as supportive to each other. Moreover, she shows that “un roseau pensant” and “membres pensants”, other examples of “le style naturel, ” also express the human existence as a “texture”.The rhetoric of Pensées point to the “topos” for “advent/Advent” because Pensées contains the “topos” as the texture which produces “le style naturel.” One can say that “le style naturel” is the discourse which may open up the “topos” for religious education. Hence, the quest for this style is crucial for locating the possibilities and methods of religious education.
