Abstract "Synthesizing and extending many years of influential work, the Philosophy of Movement is a comprehensive argument for how motion is the primary force in human and natural history. Thomas Nail interrogates the consequences of movement throughout history and in daily life in the twenty-first century, drawing connections and tracing patterns between scales of reality, periods of history, and fields of knowledge to offer a contemporary philosophy"-- Provided by publisher.
