Absolute Knowledge gains form only through a particular philosophical subjectivity

Evidence

The responsibility for this final and definitive formulation (mise en forme) – requiring as it does an idiom, a form of utterance, a discipline of reading – falls to the philosopher. Philosophy’s Self, or absolute subject, would indeed remain formless unless shaped into a style by a particular philosophical subjectivity. In return, it is only Absolute Knowledge which gives philosophical subjectivity its rightful form. Thus speculative hermeneutics must consist of a mutual gift of form, from the Self to the self. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1131
