    The praxeological approach, which is the study of human action and its consequences, has been extended to the foundations of economics and social science. This approach focuses on understanding human behavior and the choices individuals make in economic and social contexts. By applying praxeological principles, researchers can analyze and explain various phenomena in these fields, such as market behavior, social interactions, and decision-making processes. This extension allows for a deeper understanding of economic and social phenomena and helps in developing theories and models to explain and predict human behavior in these domains.
