- Nota:
- The Pensées (Thoughts) is a collection of fragments written by the French 17th-century philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal. Pascal's religious conversion led him into a life of asceticism, and the Pensées was in many ways his life's work. It represented Pascal's defense of the Christian religion, and the concept of "Pascal's wager" stems from a portion of this work.
Pascal's wager is a philosophical argument postulating that individuals essentially engage in a life-defining gamble regarding the belief in the existence of God. - Permalink:
