Question

I don't understand the essay "Bodies in Motion and at Rest" by Thomas Lynch. What is the point of the essay? Correct me if I am wrong...is it discussing how our life adds up and that unlike the particulars, we do not have a definite answer to why?

Does this make sense?

Answer 1

Not bad. His essay to me was that life is something that is there, and happens, and we can observe it, or pretend we can control it. There is little causality, nor sense to it all.
