About the so-called primacy of practical reason

Keywords: theory and practice; dialectics; primacy of practical reason
Summary/Abstract: This chapter provides an analysis of the dialectical relations binding pairs of mutually correlated categories: thinking and acting, as well as the dichotomy between theory and practice, which had always been topical in philosophy. The diagnosis of the limitations and dangers connected to the overuse of the above-mentioned categories, or to a lack of proper reflective control of their dialectical interrelation, leads to the discovery of the moral and heuristic meaning of the so-called primacy of practical reason.
