Abstract

In this paper, the writer firstly presents a short history of the discussion of motion and deals with the different views in this regard. Next, the meaning of motion is discussed, and its relation with generation and corruption is explored. It is emphasized there that early philosophers were interested in motion in categories and accidents. The discussion is later followed by an account of trans-substantial motion, motion in substance, and its related proofs. In the next part, it is tried to provide some answers to the objection raised against motion in substance. Then, after a short discussion of motion from gnostics' view, the consequences of trans-substantial motion, the temporal origination of the world, corporeal resurrection, the corporeal nature of origination, and the spiritual nature of subsistence are explained.
