Gramsci’s philosophy of praxis links theory inseparably to practice and action

Evidence

In the case of concepts this has been done not merely in order to preserve the feel of the original text but also to avoid imposing too simplistic an interpretation on phrases which often have a conceptual value of their own. Thus “philosophy of praxis” is both a euphemism for Marxism and an autonomous term used by Gramsci to define what he saw to be a central characteristic of the philosophy of Marxism, the inseparable link it establishes between theory and practice, thought and action. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 25
