The Importance of Reason in Human Rights

On one side there's dogmatism or what we might today call scientism things like logical positivism. Anything that cannot be proved by the mind by reason or by empiricism is ultimately meaningless and Pascal wants to argue that there are the heart has reasons that reason does not know. In terms of say human rights he can't really rationally justify human rights as something that is from a purely rational basis something that's true. There's something about believing that you know humans are should be given dignity and we should value people absolutely that is a type of something that we stand on but not in the realm or the order of pure reason so Pascal outlays skepticism and Scientology.
