Summary/Abstract: Pascals’ Wager is one of the most interesting and original arguments for the existence of God. It does not invoke advanced metaphysical concepts; instead, it employs the methods and concepts of probability calculus. Its argumentative power mainly rests on the appropriate interpretation of the determinants of human existence, which are taken to include our cognitive, moral and physical limitations. e article discusses different aspects of Pascals’ reasoning. In particular, it examines the wager in the context of Grace as something that Pascal himself believed in.
