This article is about the historically and philosophically meaning of praxis in Karl Marx from the analysis of his Theses on Feuerbach. It is intended to show that praxis cannot reduce itself to the application of theory, much less to a moment of the related theory and practice. Rather, the very understanding of praxis is constitutive of itself. Insofar as this is where one of the most important aspects of a revolutionary process. It is evident; to perceive and act from the assumption that historical reality is a process to be, and therefore indeed, it can be influenced by individuals who articulate themselves intentionally and in solidarity to overcome all forms of oppression and domination. Thus a conception of praxis is visualized that yields neither to vulgar materialism nor naive idealism. Praxis conceived as a solidarity task of an emancipatory social movement.
