Praxis: What does it mean to you?

Praxis is a term that is difficult to define. Praxis is reflection and action upon the world to transform it in order to serve interests of all human beings. Reflection and action are not separated in time, space and agency. Only praxis transforms reality for the benefit of the most disenfranchised. Conscious praxis is a critical and systematic road to human agency by enhancing human capacity for creating and recreating the natural and social world, even though we have a relative autonomy (Freire, 1986). What does praxis mean to you? What do you think it will mean in your future practice? Prof. Lopez
