What Is the Philosophy of Movement?

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper is an introduction to the philosophy of movement. It describes the contemporary motivations and goals of the project as well as its similarities and differences with the mobilities paradigm and process philosophy. I argue that what is unique about the philosophy of movement is that it is the only philosophy that accepts the primacy of motion as its methodological starting point. The philosophy of movement is the analysis of phenomena across social, aesthetic, scientific, and ontological domains from the perspective of motion. It is a philosophy of indeterminacy or processes understood as processes. That is, not as a sequence of static discontinuous occasions as or as a continuous vital energy. In the philosophy of movement, the world is made of processes whose relatively stable iterations generate the phenomena we see around us. Things are emergent “metastable” patterns of indeterminate motion.
