Sentence/quote where we read it first:

"Poesis aims towards the amking of an end product 'seperated from action', whereas in praxis action is an end in itself."

Oxford English Dictionary:

  • The process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is enacted or practiced.
  • The practical side or application of something, especially in contrast with theory.


Write down what you think it meant:

similar to practice, as in 'artistic practice', the doing as the thing itself not the outcome
