praxis

[Peter Kropotkin]

my handy dandy dictionary says this about praxis...

Praxis: practice, as distinguished from theory.
"The gap between theory and praxis, text and world"

but who exactly practices "Praxis"? In other words, who engages
with the practical application of such things as morals and ethics,
for example? Or as with most people, do you think that I should
act this way because I have some fear of breaking the law?
In being this way, the passive acceptance of the law due to the
fear of breaking the law?

Or who engages in morals/ ethics in an active way in asking,
why is this law worth supporting and that law is not? IQ45 has publicly
stated he has sexually assaulted women, " I grab them by the pussy"
and the GOP/MAGA party couldn't have cared less... Apparently, sexual
assault is fine and dandy according to the GOP/MAGA party...
Kavanaugh was accused of having sexually assaulting women
and the GOP/MAGA party was ok with that...

so, we have the theory of legal and we have the actual practice of
the law... The GOP/MAGA party couldn't care less about the praxis
of the law.. the actual practice of following the law...
but they sure do love the theory of following the law...
The BLM movement was illegal because it violated the law,
but the insurrection of Jan 6 2020, was legal because it was just a bunch of
sightseers, people on a picnic who had a right to collectively visit the congressional
building, you know to sightsee...

so, given this background, should we focus on an engagement with praxis or
with an engagement with theory?

Personally, I hold that we must have both an engagement with both theory and
practice/praxis...

Structuralists and post structuralists especially in the realm of semiotics talk about the differences between Langue and parole. Most often attributed to Saussure the Swiss linguistic philosopher.
Theory and praxis bear the same sort of distinguishing features.

The 'law' is not a 'theory' that 'praxis' is distinguished from.

A 'theory' that is distinguished from 'praxis', for example, is a 'theory' about how 'time travel' is possible, and, the 'praxis' is the making of the spaceship, which can travel faster than the speed of light, and then just showing how this actually works, by just putting this action into practice.

Also, how and why did you jump to the conclusion that one just stating, "I grab them by the pussy", means that that one has sexually assaulted them?
