The problem of motion and change is one of the most central topics in both physics and metaphysics, and it has been a subject of contemplation for most philosophers from ancient Greece to the modern era. However, the existence, essence (quiddity), and the manner of explaining or establishing the reality of motion remain subjects of debate among philosophers. Avicenna, like many philosophers, discussed motion extensively. After providing a general definition of motion and proposing two meanings for it, he argues that only one of these meanings—medial motion—exists externally, while the other—traversal motion—exists only in the human imagination. A question that has been largely neglected is why Avicenna made this distinction, ultimately affirming the external realization of medial motion, and what is the precise place of this distinction within his philosophical system? This article, which employs a descriptive-analytical method with a documentary approach, seeks to address this gap. Ultimately, the study concludes that Avicenna’s conception of the reality of motion is capable of resolving various philosophical challenges concerning the topic, even though he himself did not explicitly set out to do so and was merely focused on analyzing the external and mental realization of motion.
