The philosopher you know for all the wrong reasons, Blaise Pascal is a certifiable genius. Forget The Wager, and bask for a few minutes in the stunning brilliance of one of the most penetrating intellects the world has ever known.
Ben Roger's Philosophy Bite on Pascal: http://philosophybites.com/2009/07/ben-rogers-on-pascals-pens%C3%A9es.html
Correction: the Nietzsche quote at 4:49 was inaccurate. The correct quote is "One should never forgive Christianity for having destroyed men like Pascal."--Notebook 11[55].
Blaise Pascal foi um pensador francês do Século XVII que teve grandes contribuições com a ciência de sua época. Fez a primeira máquina de calcular mecânica (La Pascaline) e ajudou a criar a Teoria das Probabilidades.
Seu famoso Teorema de Pascal foi criado quando tinha 16 anos. Sua educação esteve inicialmente aos cuidados de seu pai, o matemático Etienne Pascal; mais tarde teve algumas controvérsias com aristotélicos tradicionais e escreveu muitas obras de teor religioso, durante um período (por volta de 1650) que se recolheu aos estudos.

Le 19 août prochain, la France commémorera les 350 ans de la mort de Blaise Pascal. Du génie scientifique qui s'est révélé très tôt par son Traité des sons qu'il a écrit à l'âge de douze ans et la première machine à calculer qu'il a inventé à dix-neuf, à la nuit de « feu », où il a la vision de l'ordre et des plans divins de la chute à la rédemption, qui était-il vraiment ? Pour les chrétiens, Blaise Pascal est à la fois l'homme du « pari » et également celui de la querelle de Port-Royal. Dès lors quels liens Pascal avait-il avec l'Église ? Que combattait-il ? Quelles actualités ont aujourd'hui ces querelles ? Quid aujourd'hui de cette « grâce divine », seule en mesure selon Pascal de convertir les coeurs et de les ramener à la foi pure des premiers chrétiens ? Pour y répondre, Laurence Devillairs, philosophe et directeur littéraire aux éditions du Seuil et Gérard Ferreyrolles, professeur de littérature à la Sorbonne.

There are two kinds of argument for theism. Traditional, epistemic arguments hold that God exists; examples include arguments from cosmology, design, ontology, and experience. Modern, pragmatic arguments hold that, regardless of whether God exists, believing in God is good for us, or is the right thing to do; examples include William James's will to believe and Blaise Pascal's wager.
Pascal — French philosopher, scientist, mathematician and probability theorist (1623-1662) — argues that if we don't know whether God exists then we should play it safe rather than risk being sorry. The argument comes in three versions (Hacking 1972), all of them employing decision theory.
Some acknowledge that Pascal's wager cannot decide among religions, yet maintain that "it at least gets us to theism" (Jordan 1994b, Armour-Garb 1999). The idea is that Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Moslems, and devil-worshippers can all legitimately use decision theory to conclude that it's best to believe in some supreme being. Against this there are two objections. First, it disregards theological possibilities such as the Professor's God. The Professor's God rewards those who humbly remain skeptical in the absence of evidence, and punishes those who adopt theism on the basis of self-interest (Martin 1975, 1990; Mackie 1982). Second, the claim that Pascal's wager yields generic theism assumes that all religions are theistic. But consider the following sort of atheistic Buddhism: if you clear your mind then you will attain nirvana and otherwise you won't — i.e. if you fill your mind with thoughts and desires, e.g. if you believe that God exists or if you love God, then you will not attain salvation (Saka 2001).

Blaise Pascal (French pronunciation: [blɛz paskal]; 19 June 1623 – 19 August 1662), was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer and Catholic philosopher. He was a child prodigy who was educated by his father, a tax collector in Rouen. Pascal's earliest work was in the natural and applied sciences where he made important contributions to the study of fluids, and clarified the concepts of pressure and vacuum by generalizing the work of Evangelista Torricelli. Pascal also wrote in defense of the scientific method.
In 1642, while still a teenager, he started some pioneering work on calculating machines, and after three years of effort and 50 prototypes he invented the mechanical calculator. He built twenty of these machines (called the Pascaline) in the following ten years. Pascal was an important mathematician, helping create two major new areas of research: he wrote a significant treatise on the subject of projective geometry at the age of sixteen, and later corresponded with Pierre de Fermat on probability theory, strongly influencing the development of modern economics and social science. Following Galileo and Torricelli, in 1646 he refuted Aristotle's followers who insisted that nature abhors a vacuum. Pascal's results caused many disputes before being accepted.

Famous quotes by Blaise Pascal:
"In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't."
"Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it."
"All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone."
"Imagination decides everything"
"You always admire what you really don't understand."
"There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus"
"Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed"
"Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true."
"The heart has reasons that reason cannot know."
"Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just."
"The knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him."
"Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists."
"Thus so wretched is man that he would weary even without any cause for weariness... and so frivolous is he that, though full of a thousand reasons for weariness, the least thing, such as playing billiards or hitting a ball, is sufficient enough to amuse him."
"It is incomprehensible that God should exist, and it is incomprehensible that he should not exist."
"Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us."
"Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much."
"The charm of fame is so great that we like every object to which it is attached, even death."
"Vanity is but the surface."
"Nothing is as approved as mediocrity, the majority has established it and it fixes it fangs on whatever gets beyond it either way."
"Through space the universe encompasses and swallows me up like an atom; through thought I comprehend the world."
Blaise Pascal

Unsung Philosophers: Blaise Pascal
The philosopher you know for all the wrong reasons, Blaise Pascal is a certifiable genius.

Blaise Pascal foi um pensador francês do Século XVII que teve grandes contribuições com a ciência de sua época. Fez a primeira máquina de calcular mecânica (La Pascaline) e ajudou a criar a Teoria das Probabilidades. Seu famoso Teorema de Pascal foi criado quando tinha 16 anos. Sua educação esteve inicialmente aos cuidados de seu pai, o matemático Etienne Pascal; mais tarde teve algumas controvérsias com aristotélicos tradicionais e escreveu muitas obras de teor religioso, durante um período (por volta de 1650) que se recolheu aos estudos. -

Blaise Pascal
Le 19 août prochain, la France commémorera les 350 ans de la mort de Blaise Pascal. Du génie scientifique qui s'est révélé très tôt par son Traité des sons qu'il a écrit à l'âge de douze ans et la première machine à calculer qu'il a inventé à dix-neuf, à la nuit de « feu », où il a la vision de l'ordre et des plans divins de la chute à la rédemption, qui était-il vraiment ? Pour les chrétiens, Blaise Pascal est à la fois l'homme du « pari » et également celui de la querelle de Port-Royal. Dès lors quels liens Pascal avait-il avec l'Église ? Que combattait-il ? Quelles actualités ont aujourd'hui ces querelles ?

Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) Pensées
http://www.philosophybites.com/ http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/phl302/texts/pascal/pensees-contents.html There are two kinds of argument for theism. Traditional, epistemic arguments hold that God exists; examples include arguments from cosmology, design, ontology, and experience. Modern, pragmatic arguments hold that, regardless of whether God exists, believing in God is good for us, or is the right thing to do; examples include William James's will to believe and Blaise Pascal's wager. Pascal — French philosopher, scientist, mathematician and probability theorist (1623-1662) — argues that if we don't know whether God exists then we should play it safe rather than risk being sorry. The argument comes in three versions (Hacking 1972), all of them employing decision theory. Some...

http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/phl302/texts/pascal/pensees-contents.html
There are two kinds of argument for theism. Traditional, epistemic arguments hold that God exists; examples include arguments from cosmology, design, ontology, and experience. Modern, pragmatic arguments hold that, regardless of whether God exists, believing in God is good for us, or is the right thing to do; examples include William James's will to believe and Blaise Pascal's wager.
Pascal — French philosopher, scientist, mathematician and probability theorist (1623-1662) — argues that if we don't know whether God exists then we should play it safe rather than risk being sorry. The argument comes in three versions (Hacking 1972), all of them employing decision theory.
Some acknowledge that Pascal's wager cannot decide among religions, yet maintain that "it at least gets us to theism" (Jordan 1994b, Armour-Garb 1999). The idea is that Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Moslems, and devil-worshippers can all legitimately use decision theory to conclude that it's best to believe in some supreme being. Against this there are two objections. First, it disregards theological possibilities such as the Professor's God. The Professor's God rewards those who humbly remain skeptical in the absence of evidence, and punishes those who adopt theism on the basis of self-interest (Martin 1975, 1990; Mackie 1982). Second, the claim that Pascal's wager yields generic theism assumes that all religions are theistic. But consider the following sort of atheistic Buddhism: if you clear your mind then you will attain nirvana and otherwise you won't — i.e. if you fill your mind with thoughts and desires, e.g. if you believe that God exists or if you love God, then you will not attain salvation (Saka 2001).
