13-6d Praxeological laws apply regardless of the content of value scales—regardless of the nature of ends pursued

Praxeology is content-independent.

“Economics is not concerned with their content, and its laws apply regardless of the nature of these ends. Psychology and ethics deal with the content of human ends; they ask, why does the man choose such and such ends, or what ends should men value?”

“Praxeology is a logical science based on the existence of action per se; it is interested in explaining and interpreting real action in its universal sense rather than in its concrete content. Its discussion of value scales is therefore a deduction from the nature of human action and not a speculative essay on the internal workings of the mind. Praxeology is not concerned with the content of these ends, the manner of arriving at them, or their order; it is concerned with analysis of the logical implications of the existence of these ends.”
