 Unlike the Cosmological Argument or the Design Argument, theistic pragmatic arguments are not arguments for the proposition that God exists; they are arguments that believing that God exists is rational. The most famous theistic pragmatic argument is  Pascal’s Wager.  Though we touch on this argument briefly, this entry focuses primarily on the theistic pragmatic arguments found in William James, J.S. Mill, and others. It also explores the logic of pragmatic arguments in general, and the pragmatic use of moral arguments, and arguments predicated on the idea of final meaning in life. This entry looks at an important objection to the employment of pragmatic arguments in belief formation – the objection that evidence alone should regulate belief. It also explores a few pragmatic arguments that have been offered against Theism.
