Marx's Notion of Praxis

Summary/Abstract: In this article the author investigates the perplexed set of meanings of the concept of praxis in Marx. Departing from the relation between Hegel’s concept of spirit (Geist) and Marx’s concept of activity (Praxis), the author first of all considers the genesis of praxis from Phenomenology of Spirit and Science of Logic, as well as the concepts of self-production, labor and perverted praxis (alienation). In the second part, through the figures of „witness“ and „actor“, the relation between theory and practice is reflected through the idea of realization of philosophy. The author argues that this is, primarily, a process of simoultanious subjectivation and objectification – a specific continuity within discontinuity, because of which the important role of theory can not be neglected. Differentiating between various stages of praxis, the author emphasizes that the crucial category of dialectics is not necessity but possibility, exposed through the inner relation between human potentiality and potential humanity.
