The philosophy of praxis originates as materialism perfected by and fused with humanism.

Evidence

The passage in the Holy Family 451 on French materialism in the eighteenth century describes quite well and quite clearly the genesis of the philosophy of praxis. It is “materialism” perfected by the work of speculative philosophy itself and fused with humanism. It is also true that with this perfecting of the old materialism there remains only philosophical realism. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 1319
