A true word unites reflection and action into praxis that transforms the world

Evidence

Within the word we find two dimensions, reflection and action, in such radical interaction that if one is sacrificed—even in part—the other immediately suffers. There is no true word that is not at the same time a praxis. Thus, to speak a true word is to transform the world. — Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 256

Categorization

• DEFINE: Precise definition of praxis as the inseparability of reflection and action — the load-bearing concept the reader needs to redesign a learning situation.
• XREF: Connects to the reader’s critique concern: if the facilitator already holds ‘correct consciousness,’ does articulation of praxis become the new banking?
• ADDENDUM: Praxis as reflection+action maps onto the grafting metaphor’s two-way exchange — theory (rootstock) and practice (scion), neither viable alone.
