Absolute Knowledge is metamorphic, not static, and keeps forming individuals’ futures

Evidence

This ā€˜absolute form’, essentially the form of the System itself, has not lost its plastic power as if it could, henceforth, no longer form anything. On the contrary: this ā€˜elevation’ and ā€˜liberation’ of philosophy from the representational form constitutes an original and unprecedented process of temporalization. It is not stasis but metamorphosis that characterizes Absolute Knowledge. Consequently it forms and transforms individuals, fashioning their ways of waiting for and expecting the future. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 927

Categorization

  • XREF: Directly reframes my earlier intuition that ā€˜end of history’ means closure — mirrors how I’ve understood plasticity surviving completion in brain-development terms. — connects to: Absolute Knowledge may or may not abolish all events and temporality.; Absolute Knowledge is metamorphosis that shapes individuals’ expectations of the future; Absolute Knowledge remains plastic, transforming individuals and their future expectations.

  • SEED: Angle: Absolute Knowledge as endless self-metamorphosis rather than terminus — a model for thinking neuroplasticity as operating even at mature/system-complete stages.
