In this article, we proposed a reflection on the theoretical category of praxis, starting from the questioning of how it is possible to think about the construction of an emancipatory praxis in the current Brazilian context? To go through this question, we situate the concept of historical fatalism, as a possibility for understand how the power relations are constituted in the current moment, in face of the social threat coming from two agents: the neoconservative government Brazil, and the Covid-19 virus, generator of a worldwide pandemic. In this work, we understand that these agents contribute to the intensification of the neoliberal offensive, which highlights the structural contradictions in the order of capital. Thus, we established that this category of praxis is an expression of the process of critical awareness of subjects, and institutes a movement necessary for social change, based on a historical conception of reality.
KEYWORDS: Praxis. Historical Fatalism. Process of Consciousness. Transformation.
