Praxis and sociologists:

Praxis and sociologists:

à       Praxis: it is a philosophical term which is refined to human action

Ø     on the natural

Ø     And social world.

It points out the transformative nature of action and the priority of action over thought.

v    Praxis is a term most commonly associated with the ability of exploited groups to change their economic, political, and social worlds through rationally informed reflection and intentional social action.

v    As advocated and crooks by up to date theorists, the term itself is often loosely associated with the melding of theory to libratory human action.

v    In classical sociological theory, praxis is connected with Karl Marx and his emphasis on the revolutionary potential of the workers.

v    Interpretations of Marx's usage of praxis vary, but most associate a Marxist-based praxis with societal transformation that involves an associated change in the working class material activity, consciousness, and social relations. At issue for Marx is holistic human and social transformation.

A Problem of sociologist praxis:

Karl Marx had studied the case for resolving the problem related to working class people. The case for interceptive observations in field work showed the economical behavior of bourgeois and proletariat. Karl Marx emphasized it as:

ü     Just as the economists are the scientific representatives of the bourgeoisie, so the sociologists and communists are the theorists of the proletariat.

ü     As the history proceeds workers take shape more clearly, need no longer look for science in their own minds.

ü     Workers have to give account of what is happening before their eyes, and make themselves its voice.

ü     Due to their struggle on seeing the science, they see in misery nothing but misery, without finding its revolutionary aspect.

ü     Historical movement associated with consciousness has ceased to be doctrinaire and has become revolutionary.
