My phrase is a moment, the moment of fixity in the monologue of Zeno the Eleatic and Huí Shih . In this monologue one of the terms finally devours the other: either motionlessness is merely a state of movement , or else movement is only an illusion of motionlessness . Therefore we ought not to say either always or never, but almost always or almost never, merely from time to time or more than is generally supposed and less than this expression might indicate, frequently or seldom, consistently or occasionally, we don’t have at our disposal sufficient data to state with certainty whether it is periodic or irregular: fixity is momentary fixity is momentary fixity…. All this means that fixity never is entirely fixity and that it is always a moment of change. Fixity is always momentary. (en) |
