Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the problematization of the eponymous theme is to present various levels of complexity of the problem of the irreducibility of theory and practice, construed in a source-based fashion in terms of the categories of specific modi of existential attitudes and the associated experiences which are structured in a temporal-spatial manner. However, this problem de facto implies the problem of the necessity of transcending the limits of the autotelicity of the orders of theory and practice, with the simultaneous awareness and the recognition of the separateness of these orders in the field of human activities and their products. It is also in this context that I distinguish specific properties of theoretical attitudes (methodological confusion/sharing attention and the rationality of receding and restraint) and practical attitudes (the methodological narrowing down of the concentration of attention to the thing which is and the rationality of participation and engagement). Then I problematize the theme of the conjunction and disjunction of paedagogical theory and practice. The analyses that are conducted in this way and the ways of argumentation that are worked out in this context constitute a basis for the emphasis of seven fundamental epistemological and methodological reductionisms of research attitudes.
