Montaigne, Descartes and Pascal all believe in an unpredictable superlative truth through the commonly accepted truth of society. Montaigne asserts that even contradictions are not contradictions in truth (Montaigne, p.75). Not believing in the possibility of this lack of contradiction in the truth would be considered skepticism – skepticism being the reluctance to believe anything for any reason. This same skepticism is explained by Descartes as a self-refuting falsehood by his quote “I think, therefore I am” (Descartes, p. 24). Finally, Pascal also shares this notion since he affirms: “We must be able to doubt if necessary, have assurance if necessary, by submitting if necessary. He who does not act therefore does not understand the force of reason” (Pascal, p. 93). This reason – your perception of what will bring happiness (Pascal, p.31) – is persuaded by dogmatism, skepticism and blind faith. Pascal describes skepticism as “doubting everything for lack of knowing where to submit” (Pascal, p. 93) – a statement in agreement with Montaigne and Pascal. Dogmatism is described as a “certainty that everything is demonstrable” (Pascal, p.93). This is, however, an unacceptable belief because it reduces the infinitude of the universe to a finite explanation. Finally, blind faith is described as “submitting in all things, not knowing where to use your own judgment” (Pascal, p.93). In other words, blind faith means believing what others tell you without considering what you think is right. In fact, there is no explanation anyone can give of God or truth because they are both infinite terms, and when infinite terms are expressed in the finite, they become nothing (Pascal, p 86). The truth - when it is in the middle of a paper......e in finite terms because these finite terms transform God and truth into nothingness. This is why it is so impossible to bridge the infinite abyss with limited means. Only infinity can fill the infinite abyss. Moreover, we know that there is a chasm to be bridged, because even the greatest doubts of skeptics cannot deny that we exist since we wonder if we think is self-affirming. We exist; however, most individuals do so by only realizing the finite world. It is the awareness of the difference between the infinite and the finite – omniscience – which allows us to realize that the finite is nothing compared to the infinite. Since God and truth are both nothing in the finite, there is no way to describe them in a finite way; However, understanding the inability to distinguish these two concepts is precisely how one will understand them.
