Abstract:
This paper aims to propose to rehabilitate prâxis and revive possibilities of practical wisdom (phronesis) and a reinterpret excellence as an ethically committed way for responsible and sustainable form of living, while operating in the midst of a systematically constrained world of neoliberal regimes.,Based on a literature review, this essay first presents some basic understandings of prâxis, practices and its architecture as well as phronesis and its interconnection. Further, possibilities for integrating excellence in prâxis and success in poietic practice are suggested in form of a critical poietic phronesis, and some implications are outlined in conclusions.,Considering the systemic constrains of contemporary neoliberal regimes, this paper has shown the significance of a reviving the inter-relational nexus between prâxis, embodied practices, phronesis and sustainable action. An integral holonic approach of constrained prâxis was discussed, by which the macro-level is holonically connected to meso-level of likewise constrained practices to micro-level of action and vice versa. In particular, constrained excellence-oriented practical wisdom was connected with constraining result- and success- poiesis in a critical poietic phronesis and creative actions in inter-practices as part of inter-prâxis discussed.,The paper is a meta-reflective paper and view point, but links to “prâxis-related research” are offered.,Some practical and political implications are provided.,Some links to social and societal implications are discussed.,The proposed integration of prâxis, embodied practices, sustainable actions and practical wisdom for organisation and in relation to society is genuine and critical. It is orginal in that it provides possibilities to re-assess, re-vive and further investigate the relevance of embodied forms of an integral prâxis, practicing, phronesis and action in and through organizations as well as stakeholder towards a flourishing unfoldment.read more
