ORIGIN,
HISTORY &
DEVELOPMENT
·
Established in
1957 aiming at
serving general
culture and the
academic book,
where it realized
distinguished
success. Later
on it took two
directions on
the way of realizing
its aim: modernity
and heritage for
being integrated
and none can dispense
with the other.
So, it issued
numerous academically
revised books
and selected the
best of the writings
about the age
problems.
· Pays
special attention
to children who
form the majority
of the Arab society
and the most important
category in it.
Accordingly, it
releases miscellaneous
appropriate publications
for them so as
to ennoble their
concepts and the
information they
have.
·
Having borne in
mind the value
of encyclopedias
which involve
express and necessary
service for the
literate in general,
it takes great
interest in them
and provides the
market with specialized
encyclopedias,
and is now dedicated
to issue a general
encyclopedia on
'The Islamic Civilization'.
· Its concern
is the free dialogue
with others no
matter how far
different in attitude
they be, because
Dar Al-Fikr believes
in the fact that
truth appears
only when ideas
collide. It, therefore,
issued a series
of "Dialogues
for a New Century".
Every book of
which displays
a dialogue about
a specific topic
between two researchers.
Each researcher
handles it from
his own point
of view. Then
they respond to
each other, refuting
or advocating.
· Single
agent of, and
reliable distributor
for, the most
famous companies
specialized in
manufacturing
Arabic programs
in Syria.
· Possesses
an electronic
bookshop on the
Internet, for
selling books
on laser disks.
· Produced
various electronic
publications,
one of which is
"The Encyclopedia
of the Islamic
Jurisprudence
and It's Proofs".
