Blaise Pascal, Pensées | The Wager About God's Existence | Philosophy Core Concepts

Get Pascal's Pensees - https://amzn.to/2NnuEAx Support my work here -   / sadler   Philosophy tutorials - https://reasonio.wordpress.com/tutori... This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker. This Core Concept video focuses on Blaise Pascal's unfinished work, the Pensées, specifically on his famous "Wager" about the existence of God. Pascal argues that one has to choose one way or another about the matter, in how one lives and commits one's life. He frames the problem in terms of a bet or gamble, in which we stake our present life, and have a possibility to win eternal happiness and life.
