Really interesting read! Great way of bringing these ideas together and exploring this way of thinking. From a praxeology perspective, it’s worth noting that it doesn’t address why people act, only that they act purposefully to achieve chosen ends.

As Mises warned, once you start asking why a person wants something, you’ve already stepped into the domain of psychology.

Building on your idea, I find it useful to think of “zoology” as potentially split into two layers: subconscious/animalistic behavior versus conscious/spiritual guidance. In that sense, praxeology can still guide us and help us understand action, but once consciousness moves into increasingly higher spiritual states, even a universal, deductive analysis may no longer reliably apply, and its framework may no longer be needed.
