• Alteration
• Building
• Corruption

Natural and Violent Movement

Aristotle distinguishes two types of movement: natural movement, which is one in which beings tend to place themselves where they perfectly correspond to nature, and violent movement, which is one in which beings tend towards a place that does not belong to them, and therefore, a movement that has been caused by an agent.

The Cantonal Uprising was a serious conflict that occurred during the First Spanish Republic, representing the period's most significant crisis.
