What is praxis ? How do we do theology from its
perspective? These are the main questions which this book seeks to answer.
As propaedeutic to theological reflection, it surveys the notion of praxis
in the philosophical, sociological and anthropological traditions - from
Aristotle and Marx to contemporary theories. It argues that Pierre
Bourdieu's 'theory of practice' achieves a critical synthesis of
these different traditions making it a viable theological dialogue-partner.
Bourdieu provides us with a praxeological theory to scrutinize the complexity of
the social realm and an epistemological theory to understand the mystery of
God's presence in these socio-historical conjunctures which serve as the
privileged and only locus of His/Her revelation. The author thus engages two
theologians who take praxis/practice as central to their theological methods:
Clodovis Boff (liberation theology) and John Milbank (radical orthodoxy). From
the perspective of its appropriated framework, this work attempts to avoid the
limitations as well as preserves the gains achieved by these two approaches - as
it also explores the rudiments of a theological method relevant to our
post-Marxist and postmodern-global contexts.
