Excerpt from The Pre-Socratic Use of as a Term for the Principle of Motion

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the ancient Greek philosophers who preceded Socrates used the term 'kinesis' (movement) in a more expansive way than previously thought, and that their usage had a profound effect on the language and concepts used in Western philosophy. The author provides a detailed examination of the terms for movement used by these early philosophers, arguing that they employed a broad range of expressions to describe what we now understand as both physical and mental movement. By delving into the etymological roots and philosophical contexts of these terms, the book sheds new light on the origins and development of Western thought. This examination not only enhances our understanding of early Greek philosophy but also provides valuable insights into the evolution of language and the complex relationship between thought and expression.
