Usage note change
Praxeology suggests human behaviour is purposeful behaviour, one that seeks to achieve a given, long-range end. As such, it is used in formal fields such as subliminal messaging or economics, but also more informal fields such as to explain the logical coherence of narcissism or the manosphere.
