Praxis is practice in the sense of simply doing something, either in the present or regularly. Praxis does not include rehearsal or training, for which the "real" action in question will happen in the future. For example, if musicians play a certain kind of music regularly, that is their praxis; if they rehearse for a performance or to improve their skill, that is the other sense of practice. Praxis can also mean application - the putting of theory into practice. The term may refer to:
  • Christian theological praxis
  • Praxis (Eastern Orthodoxy), the practice of faith, especially worship
  • Praxis (process), the process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is enacted, practiced, embodied, or realized
  • The Praxis School, a school of Marxist philosophy
    • Praxis (journal), a journal of the Praxis School
    • Praxis International, the continuation of Praxis (journal) and predecessor of Constellations (journal)
  • Praxis Journal of Philosophy, a journal of philosophy of the University of Manchester
  • Praxis intervention, in social work, a methodology for intervention within communities
  • Praxis test, a United States teacher certification exam
