Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Blaise Pascal believed that reason had limitations and that there were aspects of faith that could not be fully understood through reason alone. This is exemplified in his famous argument for belief in God, known as Pascal's Wager, which acknowledges that reason alone cannot fully prove the existence of God, but suggests it is still a rational choice to believe in God.
