[edit] Social Contract

I removed the following section from the article because being pretty knowledgable about Pascal, this is the first I had ever heard his name connected to the social contract. Also the phrase "nothing is more important that" is prejudiced and unencyclopedic. Many people would consider his work on salvation the most important, since, well, salvation equates to an eternal state of bliss that no social contract could ever attain.

Nothing is more important then Pascal's Social Contract. Like Locke's Social Contract Pascal believed in the importance of Life, Liberty, and Property of each individual.

I would be happy to reinstate a reworded version if provided with a legitimate source. David Bergan 15:13, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
