释义

praxisn.

Brit. /ˈpraksɪs/, U.S. /ˈpræksəs/
Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from Greek. Etymons: Latin praxis; Greek πρᾶξις.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin praxis action, practice (from 13th cent. in British sources), direct practical experience (frequently from 13th cent. in British sources), habitual or customary mode of action, method, technique (15th cent. in British sources), in title of treatise on a given subject (1451, 16th cent. in British sources), exercise of profession or occupation (1549 in a British source with reference to medical practice) and its etymon ancient Greek πρᾶξις doing, action, practice < πράττειν to do (see practic adj.) + -σις -sis suffix. Compare German Praxis (17th cent. or earlier).Praxis is recorded in classical Latin as a Greek word, denoting an act, deed, as well as in the phrase habere praxim in a corrupt passage in Petronius of disputed sense, where it may denote effect. In sense 1b after German Praxis, used by A. von Cieszkowski in Prolegomena zur Historiosophie (1838) 129, then adopted by Karl Marx in Zur Kritik der Hegelschen Rechtsphilosophie, Einleitung in the Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher (1844).
