Absolute Knowledge transforms via a retrospective move that turns predicate into speculative proposition
Evidence
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
