Praxiology: The International Annual of Practical Philosophy and Methodology series examines fundamental issues in the theory of human action and methodological issues in such practical disciplines or sciences of the artificial, as Herbert A. Simon called them, as design and planning, technology, economics and management, as well as ethical dimension of human action. Praxiology starts from the point of view of effectiveness, and has three components: analysis of concepts involving purposive actions; critique of modes of action from the viewpoint of efficiency; and normative advisory aspects in recommendations for increasing human efficacy and ethicality.
