PARAPRAGMATISM n. [PAR uh prag MAT iz um] ‘Para’ is a greek prefix that means beyond, and ‘pragmatism’ is a school of thought that weighs knowledge, meaning, and value against their practical consequences. Therefore, a parapragmatist is one who takes a pragmatic approach to matters of spirit. Believers say that the divine is real; doubters say that the divine is not real; agnostics say that it is impossible to know if the divine is real; and parapragmatists say that it does not matter if the divine is real, what matters is what you take away from the experience. Parapragmatists actively choose to participate in belief, ritual, and faith out of the principles they stand for regardless of their physical reality, while focussing on the positive and useful aspects of both belief and doubt. They do not find themselves on either extreme of the faith spectrum; they are neither dyed-in-the-wool believers nor cynical skeptics. They simply think that it makes sense to doubt what cannot be measured, examined, or proven, and that scientific fact should take precedence over anecdotal evidence. That said, they hope that there is some kind of spiritual rhyme or reason to our existence, and that there is more to life than the apparent sum of its parts.
