Textausschnitt: People unfamiliar with the term praxis can confuse it with practice. If practice usually means observable behaviors, praxis means the spiritual events behind those behaviors.

() In the concrete, praxis is always a working against our own biases. Lonergan describes authenticity as "ever a withdrawal from unauthenticity." He also described it as "the kind of knowledge thematized by ascetical and mystical writers when they speak of discernment of spirits and set forth rules for distinguishing between pull and counterpull."

() So praxis is not just knowledge; it is work.
