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 audiobook 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. The book is published by Oxford University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks. Praise for the book: "Bold and imaginative...a book for our time." (Paul Patton, University of New South Wales, Sydney) "This is philosophy on a grand scale: bold, innovative, and wide-ranging."
