Praxeology asserts the action axiom as true, and from this (together with a few empirical axioms--such as the existence of a variety of resources and individuals) are deduced, by the rules of logical inference, all the propositions of economics, each one of which is verbal and meaningful."

praxeology," which is presented as a constructive form of Critical Legal Studies.(2)
