Aristotle failed to unify determinate concepts into an absolute concept

Evidence

The deficiency (Mangel) in the Aristotelian philosophy rests in the fact, that after the manifold of phenomena was through its offices raised into the concept, the latter (i.e. the concept), however, again fell asunder into a succession of determinate concepts, and the unity, the absolute concept which unites them, was not emphasized. … Hence, the reciprocal determination of subject and predicate, their solid and substantial connection, remains unestablished. The subject extends the sensory manifold towards infinity without ever drawing it together as a whole. Aristotle was unable to think what Hegel would call the ‘adequacy’ of subject and predicate, which demands that ‘the subject that fills its own content ceases to go beyond it, and cannot have any further predicates or accidental properties’. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1178
