ABSTRACT
This chapter briefly points to the principle on which the criticisms are founded. Motion implies that what is moved is in two places in one time; and this seems not possible. Motion has from an early time been criticised severely, and it has never been defended with much success. But, on the other side, it makes the discrepancies of change more palpable; and it forces on all but the thoughtless the problem of the identity of a thing which has changed. But change in time, with all its inconsistencies, lies below motion in space; and, if this cannot be defended, motion at once is condemned. The problem of change underlies that of motion, but the former itself is not fundamental. The problem of change defies solution, so long as change is not degraded to the rank of mere appearance. This chapter ends by some remarks on the perception of succession, or, rather, one of its main features.
