Abstract

This chapter (Sects. 4.1–4.6) looks at particular topics of concern in the theory of practice architectures. Section 4.1 explores praxis, the good for the person, and the good for humankind. It is followed by Sect. 4.2, a poem, ‘Choices,’ that concerns a person’s agency in addressing the life situations they encounter. Sections 4.3 and 4.4 discuss contestation, reminding us that practices do not unfold in entirely smooth, untroubled, harmonious ways: their paths are frequently shaped by contests: misunderstandings, disagreements, collisions and conflict. Sections 4.5 and 4.6 focus on learning as an element of practices, and perhaps as a process that always shadows practices as they unfold.
