Resumo: |
The context in which Blaise Pascal used to be studied was the claiming for faith and the heart before a cartesian reason that deprives all the knowledge from cognoscitive value that is not founded in itself only. From that perspective, Pascal`s work especially Pensées, would not be the result from a sort of marked fideism. In this context of interpretation, the wager argument was understood as a clear sign of Pascalian conviction of the impossibility of human reason to know Good. The only way to reach God would be the faith that God himself offers. The way to overcome the infinite distance that separates us from the infinite and unshared Being would be the wager in which the man in order to achieve such faith would risk everything he has considered an infinitely higher asset that is God himself and an eternity of a happy life. However, the hypothesis that we support in this research aims to show that pascalian wager can only be understood from a perspective in which reason and faith are directed toward the same truth: they do not oppose each other, but they claim and tend to the same God. The reason whose limits Pascal underlines is the same reason that operates on mathematics and experimental sciences. Pascal s argument is in the realm of the heart because it is the heart itself that allows the bettor to realize that betting in God s existence, deciding to follow His commandments and vehemently begging Him for the gift of faith is something raisonnable, not contrary to the fundamental principles apprehended by the natural light of intelligence |
