ABSTRACT
The praxeological approach, on the other hand, elevates efficiency above all other values, takes no account of any ethical, moral, or emotional aspects of conflict except insofar as they may affect efficiency, seeks either victory or the denial of victory to the opponent, restricts means only by criteria based upon expediency, and assumes a basic need to guard at all times against human depravity. So important is that branch of praxeological theory dealing with conflict that a special term, agonology ("science of struggle"), has been proposed for it. That suggestion has been adopted here.
