Description

This Routledge volume reexamines motion as a philosophical concept across Western intellectual history, revealing how the scientific revolution fundamentally reshaped our understanding of this seemingly simple category. Before Newton, motion encompassed far more than physical locomotion through space-it applied to moral, spiritual, and metaphysical dimensions of existence. Simon Oliver provides fresh interpretations of foundational thinkers including Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, and Newton, tracing how each philosopher grappled with motion's meaning and implications. By recovering motion's broader historical significance, this work demonstrates that what we now take for granted as a purely scientific matter was once understood as intimately connected to theology, ethics, and the nature of being itself. Ideal for scholars of philosophy, theology, and the history of ideas seeking to understand how modernity's conceptual frameworks diverged from earlier traditions.

Key Features

Examines motion as a philosophical and theological concept across Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, and Newton, revealing historical shifts in its meaning.

Part of the Routledge Radical Orthodoxy series, offering contemporary philosophical engagement with classical and medieval Christian thought.

Traces how the scientific revolution transformed motion from a broad metaphysical category into a purely physical one, reshaping Western intellectual tradition.

Provides close readings of key texts demonstrating motion's role in moral philosophy and theology before the post-Newtonian era.

Written by Simon Oliver for advanced readers in philosophy, religious studies, and intellectual history seeking deeper understanding of conceptual change.
