Absolute Knowledge arises from being’s own self-systematizing, not from the I

Evidence

The principle of simplification, taken as a tendency or inclination, is actually the potential on which the automatism of the System draws. At the moment of Absolute Knowledge, the System emerges as a movement, reassembling that presence which is not present to itself. Here again, this is not something done by the ‘I’. Rather, it is because being, on its own account, tends to form itself into a System, that the self-determination of substance – totality’s differentiation into individual and determinate forms – appears at the end of the day as a movement of ontological taxonomy. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1090
