On Newton's Viewpoint Of Motion

Motion is the intrinsic attribute and existence of a substance. In broad sense of motion, which is also referred as generalized view, it includes all changes and development processes of everything happened around the world; not only the mechanical motions of a substance, but also the varying thoughts in human's mind; all of them can be named as broad sense of motion. Besides, narrow sense of motion is only containing the mechanical motions of matter.The concept of motion was first starting in the seventh century BC to the sixth century BC, the Miletus school's view of motion was the major representative in this period, it mainly discussed about the principal problems of the world. For example:Thales, Heraclitus, Plato and Aristotle.Then, plenty of scientists and natural philosophers, such as Archimedes, Galileo, Descartes, Newton, and Einstein, studied on motion of things, and they achieved their own understandings. Newton is the most typical representative among the scientists; Newton had the opposite opinion with Aristotle's theory about formal cause and material cause, also, Newton over-through Aristotle's fallacy about force is the reason of maintaining objects exercising. He believed motion is not a process but a status. Newton made some supplements and extends to Galileo's principal of relativity; with the concept of relative motion, it was becoming built to be the principle of relative motion, which nowadays referred ads Newton's principal of relativity. Simultaneously, Newton agreed with Descartes'definition of the concepts about "law of momentum conservation", "extension", and "place"; however, Newton criticized Descartes'view of motion; he removed the some restriction premises of definition of motion. Newton criticized the fallacy of Aristotle, inherited and developed the theory of Galileo, and refined the Descartes'opinion, after improving and completing the theory form them, Newton reached to the conclusions of three laws of motion which is the basic theorem of establishing the physical sciences in nowadays.Newton's viewpoint of motions is offered and provided scientific basis and experiences to the philosophers to build their philosophic theories. According to this status, those modern philosophers improving and sublimating his viewpoint of motion, thence they raising their movement scope in philosophic area; such as, Mach and Einstein's theory of relativity, Bergson put forward the concept of absolutism movement, however, Marx presented the theory in both absolutism and relativism of motions scope.
