ПРАКСИОЛОГИЯ

Praxiology

Theoretically Weak Article

Presents bourgeois praxiology uncritically without Marxist class analysis of labor and production relations.

A teaching within the framework of practical sociology; it is a method of considering various actions or aggregates of actions from the point of view of their effectiveness. Founded by the President of the Polish Academy of Sciences Tadeusz Kotarbiński, it is one of the methods of modern sociological investigation.

The essence of this method consists in practical (and historical) investigation and description of the various habits and methods of work, revealing their integral elements and hence arriving at various practical recommendations. Praxiology studies the history of these categories, and undertakes concrete investigations of the work of collective bodies, analyses forms of labour organisation, its specialisation, the subjective (less frequently objective) factors in the change of organisation and the degree of efficacy of labour. Praxiology studies the interaction between individuals, and between the individual and the collective, in the process of production. It is spread to some extent in Poland.
