Abstract
The authors suggest that social justice praxis is required of any humanistic practitioner. Inspired by a metamodern interpretation of humanistic psychology, the authors offer five propositions for the bases of a socially just humanistic praxis. Based on these propositions, the authors suggest that the humanist practitioner consider socially just certitudes while remaining open to multiple manifestations of justice. Additionally, social justice praxis will require the humanist to utilize a variety of tactics to meet the particular needs of oppressed individuals and groups.
