Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it.
Praxis (Greek: πρᾶξις "activity; practice") is the application of leftist theory to real-world struggle. It refers to the actual practices by which leftist beliefs are to be embodied and realized by their adherents. The Young Hegelian philosopher August Cieszkowski understood praxis as "action oriented towards changing society."
