Absolute Knowledge may or may not abolish all events and temporality.

Evidence

This event of the arrival of free thought is the advent of absolute knowledge and, accordingly, the transition from Revealed Religion to Philosophy. The last episode of the Encyclopedia corresponds to the chapter on ‘Absolute Knowledge’ in the Phenomenology of Spirit, and also to the chapter ‘The Absolute Idea’ in the Science of Logic. Now is the moment to interrogate these conclusions. Does Absolute Knowledge mark the end, in the twofold sense of the term, of all events and any possible event? Must it be interpreted as the reduction of all temporality and the advent of the parousia of spirit? — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 901 (#qualifies, via linked claim)

This ‘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 ‘elevation’ and ‘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 (#expands, via linked claim)
