Weg und Bewegung. Im Übergang des Denkens

Abstract

Path and Movement. In the Transition of Thought. In contemporary Europe, being-on-the-way defines daily life within a dense network of paths. From phenomenological reflections on walking and road travel, drawing on Bollnow’s Mensch und Raum, to the dynamics of urban mobility, the study probes how acceleration, technology, and goal-orientation shape experience, asking whether movement has become a standstill, an experience that no longer experiences. With Benjamin, it acknowledges modernity’s new perceptual possibilities yet warns of its drive toward objectification. In the light of Husserl and Heidegger, it contends that thinking is never a fixed point or a new beginning, but rather an ongoing, self-moving transition.
