Abstrakt

Oryginał: „Pascal’s Wager”, w: Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, (Summer 2018 Edition), edited by Edward N. Zalta, http://plato. stanford.edu/entries/pascal-wager/. Przekład za zgodą Autora.

Autor analizuje klasyczne rozumowanie, zwane „zakładem Pascala”, w kontekście teorii decyzji, wyróżniając w nim trzy argumenty: (i) argument z silnej dominacji, (ii) argument z wartości oczekiwanej oraz (iii) argument z uogólnionej wartości oczekiwanej; dyskutuje zarzuty względem poprawności materialnej i formalnej rozumowania Pascala w jego trzeciej wersji, rozważa kontrowersje natury moralnej względem argumentu, a także docieka znaczenia jego konkluzji.
