Dynamism

Dynamism is term of Philosophy and Science coined by Gottfried Leibniz and developed into a full system of Reality and Cosmology. Dynamism describes that what exists are simple Elements, or for Leibniz, “Monads”, groups of Essences which have are Forces. Interactions between Elements takes place without contact, through modes or even Harmonics of Motion, yielding all Phenomena in the Universe.

However, Dynamism can also be found in the works of Baruch Spinoza and Henri Bergson, but also long before them, in the ancient Parmenides, Aristotle, The Atomists and later in Plotinus. In more contemporary works, elements of Dynamism also developed into “Process Philosophy via Alfred North Whitehead and others, as well as Systems Theory via Ludwig von Bertalanffy and William Ross Ashby. Contemporary thinkers such as Virginia Postrel, describe a Dynamism of Social Philosophy and Cultural Change, Individual Choice, and the “Open Society”. More recently, M.R.M. Parrott describes a complex Field Theory underlying all things, speaking of systemic Dynamism over Stasis in the metaphysical functions and adaptation of Complex Systems. His multi-volume series, “Dynamism” describes the layers of such an interpretation. Dynamism was also taken up by Umberto Boccioni and other artists and creative thinkers early in the 20th century. Dynamist artists used the concept as part of a way of representing the Complexity of Process, rather than be limited by the discrete and static Moments within Change, which also illustrated the limits of human Perception.
