Praxeology

With praxeology a general theory of human action is called in philosophy, economics or sociology. The term is returned to Alfred Espinas.

Philosophy

In philosophy it is the study of the rules of experience, and describes how you can make certain actions precise and more ethically justified. In economics, the term praxeology is a conception of the pure theory linked the necessity of thought as in the a priori approach of Ludwig von Mises, strictly universal statements of the terms of purposive-rational action decision derives logically. In sociology, one often refers thus to the approach of Pierre Bourdieu.

Economics

For Ludwig von Mises praxeology is the study of human action par excellence. It stands on its own as a scientific discipline in addition to ethics, science and history. The subjectivist economics extends the theory of acts of choice, the processed of classical economics research. With the problem of the economy, the economy has its autonomous field of inquiry. All action is already rational, by definition, because it is not to be recorded differently from theory.

Hans Albert criticized the amalgamation of normative ( regulatory ) problem and the problem statement of economic behavior and institutions ( such as trying to solve through a market sociology) as a political ideology. You 'll surreptitiously logically with a term confusion regarding " rationality ". In particular, it is not logically possible to eliminate the ethical evaluation of funds by the neutralization of the objectives; because this would be tantamount to the rule that the end justifies any means.

Sociology

Pierre Bourdieu developed in the early 1970s in his study design of a theory of practice on the basis of ethnological Kabyle society praxeology as a theory of practice. It is a mode of observation of social conditions, which refers to the relationship between social structures and the dispositions of the social actors.
