	Praxis (word) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Praxis is the process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is acted or practiced.
		Praxis is used by educators to describe a recurring passage through a cyclical process of experiential learning, such as the cycle described and popularised by David Kolb[1].
		Praxis is also key in meditation and spirituality, where emphasis is placed on gaining first-hand experience of concepts and certain areas, such as union with the Divine, can only be explored through praxis due to the inability of the finite mind (and its tool, language) to comprehend or express the infinite.

		Freire's praxis combined reflection and action, a way of being and acting in the world that was accessible to all people.
		Freire defines praxis as a continual process of reflection-action, and thus it is a way of being and acting in the world.

	Ignacio Ellacuría [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		An authentic praxis, however, must recognize its foundation in biology and physics - that is why the physical and biological needs of human beings must be met in order for the fullness of human praxis to be realizable.
		The direction of this process can be seen: praxis is the most advanced force reality has developed, and praxis must now take its place as the force that most drives the further unfolding of reality (just as physical and biological forces had, successively, taken that place previously).
		In other words, physical and biological forces brought about human beings; but the nature of human beings is such that we are now responsible for the further and fuller realization of reality, which realization is precisely the liberation of all human beings such that they can realize the fullness of their essence.

	SD: Knowledge : A Learning Approach to Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development: Reflections from Hawkesbury
		The praxis that both students and faculty are attempting to develop, and around which the curricula are designed, relates to the notion of learning how to become a "facilitator of sustainable rural development".
		Thus, the word systemic relates to holistic or integrated ways in which people deal with problematic situations, or systems thinking in action: systemic development practitioners use systems theories and philosophies to inform their praxis.
		This emphasis on the three notions of praxis, systemic and critical learning, and on the concept of agriculture as a vehicle for the sustainable and integrated development of rural people, their resources and the environments in which they operate, represents a reinterpretation of the agricultural practitioner.

		If the role of the Word includes its use and value as a unifying force, a statement of protest, an expression of courage, an organizing tool, the articulation of utopian dreams or a higher law, then our methodology must inspire and advance those uses and values.

		The Word and its would-be practitioners are too often met with hostility, belittlement, deprecation, disregard, and lack of understanding.
