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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn doing so, \u003cem\u003eBeing and Motion\u003c\/em\u003e 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, \u003cem\u003eBeing and Motion\u003c\/em\u003e provides a path-breaking historical ontology of our present.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47889458659479,"sku":"9780190908904","price":10226.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780190908904.webp?v=1781176535","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/being-and-motion-9780190908904","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
