Pascal, Wager, Reasonable, Christian lifeAbstract
This article intends to expose the argumentative structure of the famous pascalian fragment about the wager, whose main aim is to show the greater easonableness of the Christian life compared to the non-Christian life. Starting from the indemonstrability of the existence or non-existence of God, the fragment develops a rationally acceptable argument to justify the bet on uncertain things, especially when the infinity is at stake.
