Talk:Praxis

Removed
i've removed the following "definition":
 * Praxis can be the crux of a form of neo-Marxism as said by blogger Gothamimage. It was added on March 18, 2005, and the referenced blog post (posted on the same day) contains a link towards this page. Looks like self-promotion, and in any case, it's not notable. User:Saturnight
 * Thanks- we had tried ad failed to remove that after it was posted- it was not a promotion, but rather trying to learn wiki and was surprised it stuck when it came up later. Thanks.
 * No problem. But next time, please do test your wiki-skills in the Sandbox. And do not remove my text :) I hope you stay and start contributing soon! saturnight 21:56, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks-very pleased with the excellence of the material and will contribute when we have something. Your text was removed because we wanted to remove the definition, which we thought you wanted -, but it kept popping up on search. Also, it is a dead link and definition was inaccurate -, but was just an example that came up in a a conversation with someone who was telling us about wiki- so when we said, "is this how it works?" He replied, "yeah, but don't post that" Alas, some time had past and would now prefer that it be removed from this section too so it stops popping up.
 * Okay, I removed the link. And I'll visit your blog sometime :) --saturnight June 30, 2005 09:09 (UTC)

Praxis journal and Praxis group
In Yugoslavia, there was a very influential group of philosophers around the journal Praxis: http://www.marxists.org/subject/praxis/. After being banned in Yugoslavia, it continued as Praxis International - http://www.marxists.org/subject/praxis/praxis-international/editorial-01.htm

quote:

A Marxist-humanist journal which stressed the significance of the early humanists writings of Marx and pleaded for a creative adaptation of Marxism in the context of Yugoslav self-management. They clashed with the orthodox Marxist-Leninist interpretation of the Communist Party.

Dont know much about them, but Ill try to ask a couple of friends that know much more about the subject to write an article about it.
