orthopraxy 的词源

“正确的实践、行动或程序”，1840年，来自 ortho- + 希腊语 praxis，意为“行动、执行、实践”（参见 praxis）。

Errata — Page 263, line 9 from bottom, for 'orthodoxy' read orthopraxy. This is a new coin from the mint of Dr. [Andrew] Wylie [of Bloomington College, Indiana], at least I have not before noticed it. Its etymology places it in a just contrast with orthodoxy: for if that consecrated word indicates thinking right, orthopraxy will legitimately import doing right, and hence, as Mr. Wylie says, orthopraxy in the last dread day will pass the divine ordeal incomparably better than orthodoxy. O! that a zeal for orthopraxy would transcend the zeal for orthodoxy! ["The Millennial Harbinger," vol. iv, no. 8, Bethany, Virginia, August 1840]

Errata — 第263页，倒数第9行，将 'orthodoxy' 改为 orthopraxy。这是来自印第安纳州布loomington学院的安德鲁·怀利博士的新词，至少我之前没有注意到。它的词源与正统观形成了鲜明对比：因为如果那个神圣的词表示“正确的思考”，那么正统实践自然意味着“正确的行动”，因此，正如怀利先生所说，在最后的审判日，正统实践将比正统观更能通过神圣的考验。哦！希望对正统实践的热情能超越对正统观的热情！[《千禧年先驱者》，第4卷，第8期，弗吉尼亚州贝萨尼，1840年8月]
