Pragmatopia A Post Post Modern Philosophy
Pragmatopience is a post-post modern Philosophy. It is derived from the words: pragmatism, utopianism and wisdom.
I would like to explain how these words: pragmatism, utopianism and sapience (wisdom) alter the course of philosophy as pragmatopience.
Pragmatism refers to the philosophy of putting theory into an application or process. How can new content be created through the examination of its philosophical etymology? One way to do this is through a process of materialism-humanism. In today’s world where cultures and economies are globalizing, there is a greater variety of cooperation and participation. Cooperation must involve the transfer of technologies and the participation of cultures. Cultures become a practice of intermingling and sharing and thus reaching a consensus of global catharsis. Technology must have a human face. Yes, social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram help connect people from all over the world. So is Amazon, reaching out to parallel economies and markets and helping artisans and small merchants sell their work. News on social networks goes viral and markets merge with the adoption of technologies. Webinars and infotainment are very popular. Materialism is having financial gain and humanism is having a human face.
The next ingredient of pragmatopia is that utopia becomes pragmautopian. It is an ideal that is perfected to reality. This can happen through a dialogic-democratic solidarity process. Dialogism is the Philosophy of dialogue nurtured by Michael Bakhtin. Today there is a shift of balance from one nation to that of internationalism. Dialogue and negotiation are carried out to solve recurring economic and political problems that occur in geopolitics. Workers, Unions, Minorities and Pressure Groups protest with the majority and live their presence using the dialogic tool as a narrative of struggle.
The next element of Pragmatopience is Wisdom and Wisdom means religious wisdom. Put into practice, it refers to the practice of finding solutions to problems. Sapience wonders if technologies should be patented or used for the benefit of humanity. Some websites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram offer a free service and go a long way to supporting global democracy. Wisdom deals with the rhetoric of persuasion. Wisdom implies the Hegelian saying: first a thesis, then an antithesis, and finally a synthesis. First comes the protest or fight, then comes the persuasion, and finally the conclusion is thrown. Let’s look at the Palestinian problem from Sapience. They have reached a stage of Hegel’s thesis and antithesis. They are yet to come to a synthesis. Sapience looks at structures that create binary oppositions.
