• Believed by the Wise: Socrates, Pragmatic Arguments, and Pascal’s Wager

  

  I’ve been wrestling with an aphorism that I can’t pin down. I want to say this: ‘The wise believe what is good and true, the clever only what is proven.’ But I can’t. The tone may be right, but the content is wrong: or rather, not wrong but factually inaccurate.
