Summary/Abstract: Modern political semantics is based, among others, on re-semantics of Aristotelian kinesis. All “-isms”, all parties, all ideologies are, following Koselleck, the notions of movement: they assume the mobilization of citizens towards goals that can be achieved in time, which results in the constant dialectics between stagnation and social mobility. How does kinetic politics influence a democratic system? How does the widespread activation of bodies and minds affect the mental state of individuals? Is there, following Lasch, a relation between mobility and narcissism? Has politics become a form of disease therapy? Is politics not one of the sources of disease? Or, perhaps, politics is about a certain praxis and not a movement?
