Abstract This paper summarizes the main thread of the debate on the nature of motion in the middle ages, which includes a brief survey of Aristotle's doctrine of categories and the ontological status of motion, Averroes' two distinctions about motion, Albertus Magnus' new representation of this problem using forma fluens and fluxus formae, William of Ockham's extreme nominalistic view and Jean Buridan's objection to Ockham's view. The significance of understanding the nature of motion is also discussed.
