7. Existence / B. Change in Existence / 1. Nature of Change

17253	Change is nothing but movement [Hobbes]
	Full Idea: All mutation consists in motion only
	From: Thomas Hobbes (De Corpore (Elements, First Section) [1655], 2.09.06)
	A reaction: Another little gem of simplicity from Hobbes, and one with which I am inclined to agree. The value of a variable can 'change', but that may be metaphorical.
