According to the understanding of the present study, the comparative analysis and examination of alteration and motion in the philosophy of Avicenna and later Wittgenstein can be considered a point of connection and link between nature and metaphysics. This research, while examining the views of Avicenna and the later Wittgenstein on the issue of alteration and motion, Symmetry and logical analogies And also the difference in the views of these two philosophies regarding the perception and image that both philosophers had from this perspective, Analyzed and examined comparatively to clarify their co-narrative on the issue of alteration and motion. Just as Avicenna considered alteration and motion as a process on the path to actualization of something -Which has had potential until now- to achieve evolution, Wittgenstein seeks to alteration and motion to lead "non-identicals" towards "Identicals" up to in this process (It means transferring meaning) Most logical understanding, And as a result, awareness is gained.
