Description

Being and Motion offers a groundbreaking rethinking of fundamental philosophical concepts from a movement-oriented perspective. For centuries, philosophers have explained movement as derived from something that remains stationary - space, eternity, force, or time.

This book overturns this long-standing tradition by placing movement at the heart of philosophy, providing a new understanding of ontology's core categories and a comprehensive history of the philosophy of motion, from prehistoric mythologies to contemporary ontologies.
