Abstract

The article postulates the urgent need for a philosophy of mobility. A hierarchical triad of mobility in urban space is identified, consisting of migrants, individuals with disabilities, and those inclined towards escapism. Using a dialectical approach and the concept of liminality, it is determined that the mobility of migrants is the most intense and requires balance, particularly at the liminal stage. This can be achieved through social integration processes that lead to the acquisition of dual identity. It is shown that the mobility of individuals with disabilities is hindered by their physical limitations and the shortcomings of city infrastructure. To avoid stagnation during the liminal period, it is proposed that rehabilitation programs for individuals with disabilities should focus on identifying and promoting their strengths, as well as developing inclusive education, inclusive urban planning, and tolerance towards difference. "Zero mobility" is represented through the phenomenon of escapism, which involves complete alienation from active movement and socialization. It is asserted that escapists are mostly in the preliminal stage of mobility and require greater attention from society, social structures, and media coverage to correct the problem and achieve sustainable mobility.
