Aufhebung’s preservation is identified with the Aristotelian concept of hexis

Evidence

In the logical process of the Aufhebung, the essential idea of a mode of preservation – a form of preservation identified by Hegel in several different places through the Latin adverb virtualiter – is clearly associated with the Aristotelian concept of ις. 2Εις describes the manner in which substance entertains the reality of its future actualizations as if they were its ‘possessions’ or properties. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 480

• XREF: This virtualiter-hexis link is the conceptual bridge from Hegelian plasticity to embodied/skilled capacity in the reader’s brain work — habit as possessed potential. — connects to: Aristotelian hexis and Kantian imagination prefigure the Aufhebung structure — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel: Plasticity,…, 1007; Aristotle’s hexis names a stable way of being distinct from transient dispositions and affections — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel: Plasticity,…, 483; Aufhebung operates as speculative mourning over spectral past shapes — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel: Plasticity,…, 1013
