Blaise Pascal, The Pensées: Probability, Negative Theology, Fideism

In this video series we consider the possibility of dedicating your life to God because it is the best bet on the afterlife, even if you don't know or can't know whether God exists. Is this rational? If you want to take the gamble, is it the right way to come to faith? If you don't want to gamble, can you avoid placing a bet? In this video we give an intro to Pascal the mathematician. What is negative theology? What is fideism? Finite and infinite: how does Pascal consider our ability to describe God truly, or to describe God well? http://www.jonathanvajda.com Email: philosophyvajda@gmail.com for questions, topic recommendations, interviews, direct instruction arrangements, etc. Twitter: @jonathanvajda If you want to say thanks with a tip or gift (say, buy me coffee?), see my support landing page: https://jonathanvajda.com/support/
