HU 437 - Praxiology3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Praxiology is the normative study of effective action. The course takes a philosophical perspective on the field and aims at an increased understanding of concepts used in reflection upon our practical interaction with the world. Description of action is stressed, and the transparency of habitual action is considered as the main methodological obstacle. Topics considered include the central importance of the hand, G. H. Mead’s theory of action, the Alexander Technique, and the Lakoff-Johnson theory of metaphor.
