ABOUT PRAGMATIC
Pragmatic is a non-for-profit organization established for:
- Writers who are blessed with a passion to share authentic Islamic perspectives, reflections and teachings or other topics that are useful for humanity, but cannot find a publisher for their works;
- Readers who like to have easy access to authentic, balanced and profound works in contemporary language and style;
- People who like to give memorable, useful, valuable and gifts that can be universally appreciated.
Pragmatic Publishings hopes to expand into a full service publishing company to handle the business side for its potential member publications, so they do what they are best at - telling the truth as they see it.
Pragmatic is place for those who are determined to make a difference -- writers who can provide passionate and eye-opening analysis but lack the opportunity to get published.WHO ARE WE?
Pragmatic is place for those who are determined to make us understand -- writers who can pose a passionate, eye-opening challenge to the views presented by the mainstream media. Writers are welcome whose work is a tough-minded exploration of why the world is in trouble, starting with the basic issues of who gets heard, who gets ignored, and why.Pragmatic provides an opportunity to the writers who can show the public the realties of power today, uncovering the hidden contours of relationships that link politicians with head of states, dictators with the centres of power in the world, and subvert the needs of ordinary citizens both in the Eastern and Western countries.
The dissonance between fact and faith and the feeling of having no opportunity to get published is so discomforting that many writers naturally turn away from implications. The reluctance and evasion are understandable: Some unwanted truths are too painful to face. However, there must be outlets to vent the truth. Pragmatic has accepted this challenge.
When information is restricted, resisted, or twisted, the choices of citizens, are not truly free. Pragmatic Publishing is committed to act as a bulwark against invasion of falsehood. Pragmatic believes the a wider public be provided with facts and other side of the coin for reflection, which when preceding action, offers one principal advantage: it allows us to gain time, to spare ourselves predictable vicissitudes, to avoid having live bad solutions, which need only to be thought about seriously for it to become obvious how bad they are.
If through hypocrisy or ideological fanaticism we do not employ thought towards this end; if we do not allow many of us to speak and get published; if we are content to be swept along to the very end of risky experiments before being able to judge them at last, when it is too late, as we have often done during the course of 20th and 21st century; then one may well ask what point there is in possessing the faculty of knowledge or an abundance of information.
Pragmatic is determined to provide opportunity to all the writers who can present the available knowledge against the prevailing trends in contemporary partisan mass culture.
