Abstract
Many late medieval thinkers gave an account of the assent of faith in terms of the exercise of reason, but their account is vulnerable to attack by Pascal and Shestov who believe there to be assents of faith that have an element which is irreducibly irrational. I expound the positions of Pascal and Shestov and seek to demonstrate the strength of their positions.
