What is praxeology according to Mises?

Answered in Ludwig von Mises's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

Praxeology is the general science of human action. It begins with the self-evident, aprioristic truth that humans act purposefully to achieve desired ends by employing scarce means. From this axiom, all of economic theory can be deduced logically, independent of empirical observation or historical experience. It is through this method that we understand the laws governing human cooperation and economic phenomena.
