One of his faithful students wrote: "The Fundamental praxeological axiom is that individual human beings act." To Rothbard (1970, 65) "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." So, for Rothbard (1951, 943), "This axiom of action is indisputable and important truth, and must form the basis for social theory." Although this is a broad definition, it has been narrowed in several ways in current popular applications to economics.
