ABSTRACT

Praxiology is about human action. It considers human action as a conscious, voluntary, purposeful human behavior. Such behavior needs means to perform the action. The means should be not only relevant but also used properly, like words when one is composing a text, whether oral or written, for communication purposes. It is grammar, orthography, and phonetics that organize language in the process of speaking and/or writing. This chapter presents some of the main issues related to the praxiological theory of struggle and a few relevant suggestions for whistle-blowing. The general theory of struggle shows more general techniques that may be used in defense of other than logical tricks only. First and foremost, whistleblowing can learn from praxiology that it constitutes cooperation, negative cooperation by its nature. If whistleblowing is, in praxiological terms, a kind of negative cooperation, it is a struggle against the wrongdoing identified by the whistleblower with the intention of eliminating the disclosed misbehavior.
