More than at any other time in human history, we live in an age
defined by movement and mobility; and yet, we lack a unifying
theory which takes this seriously as a starting point for
philosophy. The history of philosophy has systematically explained
movement as derived from something else that does not move: space,
eternity, force, and time. Why, when movement has always been
central to human societies, did a philosophy based on movement
never take hold? This book finally overturns this long-standing
metaphysical tradition by placing movement at the heart of
philosophy. In doing so, Being and Motion provides a completely new
understanding of the most fundamental categories of ontology from a
movement-oriented perspective: quality, quantity, relation,
modality, and others. It also provides the first history of the
philosophy of motion, from early prehistoric mythologies up to
contemporary ontologies. Through its systematic ontology of
movement, Being and Motion provides a path-breaking historical
ontology of our present.
