Hi Filipe,

The theory/praxis dichotomy, IMO (not a very original insight either), is a 
product of metaphysical dualisms. You have mind (theory), you have body or 
extension (praxis). So if the FS stimulates your philosophical practice to 
me this is a type of praxis perspective. The intellectual/activist divide 
(theory/praxis) is equally redundant. Here we all are in cyberspace. Why 
isn't this "communication" a form of praxis? Barricades and riots are 
another. Working in the "system" to effect a progressive agenda another.
