| Summary, etc. | Defends the wager argument in philosophy as to ascertain belief in God. Blaise Pascal demands to wager whether or not he is, concluding that there is no loss in such an attempt. Even if, as he does, wager that God does not exist, one can conclude that he is, for it is rational to believe and irrational not to believe:" Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all: if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, them without hesitation, that he exists. According to Pascal, human reason cannot sufficiently explain whether or not God exists. |
