{"product_id":"being-and-motion-thomas-nail-9780190908911","title":"Being and Motion","description":"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. \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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Nail\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190908912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190908911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2019","brand":"Thomas Nail","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992873009407,"sku":"9780190908911","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e279a44e-b11f-452b-bd9a-1299637bc3cd.jpg?v=1683321281","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/being-and-motion-thomas-nail-9780190908911","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
