| Kierkegaard, S. | James Vs Kierkegaard, S. | Stegmüller V 481 ff Pascal's Wager/Pascal/Stegmüller: possible gain: bliss and knowledge of the truth. What we risk is error and misery - the stakes are reason and will. Whatever choice we make, we will not do violence to the reason in any case. JamesVsPascal: What does it actually mean to believe something on such a basis? Maybe someone is simply unable to believe in God? - Vs: 1) The wager itself is unreasonable - 2) It stands for a primitive, vain image of God. IV 493 JamesVsKierkegaard: if we were God, we would exclude believers from salvation (because of the calculation). IV 484 HumeVsReligion: Religion is based on belief, not on reason. James: Many religious people have not understood the irony and took it seriously. Among others Kierkegaard. |
