"This is a remarkable project, comparable in scope and ambition to Martin Heideggerâs Being and Time. In his earlier books on âkinopolitics,â Nail showed that we have entered a new kinetic paradigm in politics in which the migrant is the primary figure, and states, borders, and citizenship are all secondary phenomena derived from this regime of people-in-movement. Being and Motion takes this project to a broader ontological level, arguing not
only that movement must now be seen as the fundamental category of âbeing,â but that ontology itself must become mobile. This is philosophy on a grand scale: bold, innovative, and wide-ranging." Daniel W. Smith, Professor of Philosophy, Purdue University
Thomas Nail is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Denver. He is the author of Returning to Revolution: Deleuze, Guattari and Zapatismo, The Figure of the Migrant, Theory of the Border, Lucretius I: An Ontology of Motion.
