Praxeology

Praxeology is the distinctive method of the Austrian school of economics, popularized by the economist Ludwig Von Mises. It rests on the fundamental axiom that individual human beings act, that is, on the primordial fact that individuals engage in conscious actions toward chosen goals. This concept of action contrasts to purely reflexive, or knee-jerk, behavior, which is not directed toward goals.

Definition provided by the Mises Institute
The basic principles of praxeology were first discovered by the Greek philosophers, who used them as a foundation for a eudaimonistic ethics.

Dialectical Praxeology

Dialectical Praxeology is an ancap stalinist and capitalist communist (CapCom) theory that unites praxeology with dialectical materialism, where all human behavior and actions are result from the conflict of social forces and are interpretable as a series of contradictions and their solutions. The conflict is believed to be caused by material needs. Dialectical Praxeology also advocates that there are a struggle between the material needs and the human behavior, not just humans, but also for all living beings as well, where all material needs are shape the behavior of living beings such as the behavior of living beigs shape the material needs as well.
"Dialectical Praxeology is a capitalist communist theory, mainly used by capcoms and some kinds of anarchists to justify how the material conditions actually shape the behavior of humans such as humans shape the material conditions of the world they live in, leading into an infinite struggle between human behavior and material conditions."
