Abstract

The Author examines the classical reasoning called "Pascal's wager" in the framework of decision theory. He distinguishes in Pascal's original text three separate arguments: (i) the argument from superdominance, (ii) the argument from expectation, and (iii) the argument from generalized expectations. The paper addresses the third argument, discusses objections raised against it and finally investigates the true meaning of its conclusion.
