Abstract
The concept of a just life has intrigued philosophers, theologians, and scholars for centuries. Addressing the complex question of what constitutes a just life requires, exploring various ethical frameworks, religious beliefs, and philosophical arguments. This project delves into the significance of Pascal's Wager argument as a prerequisite for leading a just life. Pascal’s wager argument articulated in his work ̎Pensées ̋is primarily known as a pragmatic argument for belief in God. It posits that individuals should believe in God, not because there is certain evidence of Godsʹ existence, but because it is a rational choice with potentially infinite rewards [eternal salvation] and limited costs [temporal sacrifices]. This project seeks to provide a comprehensive analysis of Pascal's Wager Argument, examine the ethical implications of adopting it as a belief framework, and investigate whether belief in God, as proposed by Pascal, serves as a prerequisite for leading a just life. Additionally, the focus of this work is to investigate how Pascal's Argument impacts moral decision-making and the pursuit of a just life. This project bridges theology and ethics, offering valuable insights into how belief in God shapes moral frameworks and ethical decisions.
