Is praxis just an fancy synonym for practice? Or is it a bit more complicated than that?

Pretty much the practice of something, or the process of doing something. Praxis is, like, "doings" as opposed to "making stuff" or "finding out about stuff". It's from Aristotle originally, but it's probably got more specific nuances of meaning in different fields of thought, which other people would know a lot more about than I do.
