Absolute Knowledge remains plastic, transforming individuals and their future expectations.

Evidence

If dialectical sublation is not a process whose terms and operation are fixed in advance, frozen and immutable, the Aufhebung still needs to be shown as responding to its own law, the law that requires it to transform and simplify itself. Far from enforcing a violent stoppage of the dialectical progress, the advent of Absolute Knowledge will imply instead the exact opposite: its metamorphosis. Dialectical sublation will become absolute sublation – its own absolution. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1066 (#expands, via linked claim)

The possibility of affirming the ‘future of Hegel’ – in the double meaning of a future ‘of’ his philosophy and the future ‘within’ his philosophy – depends in the first instance on posing the question of the future where one does not expect it. Henceforth it is plasticity which will be presented as the ‘unforeseen’ of Hegelian philosophy. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 219 (#expands, via linked claim)

Such a knowledge has a transformative power akin to the transition which, in Hegel’s terms, changes the predicative proposition into a speculative proposition. Paradoxically, this transition emerges from a retrospective movement in which the achieved substance-subject is reflected. Now the task falls to subjectivity to produce the form of its self-knowledge, once the movement of its self-determination has been completed. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 929 (#expands, via linked claim)
