Dialectic’s history of oscillation between essential and accidental proves its speculative power

Evidence

Throughout its history, dialectic continually oscillates between its status as essential – Kant once again recognized it as ‘necessary to reason’ – and accidental discourse. For Hegel, this proves its high speculative content. The basic tension constituting it is the very pulse and vital spark of thought. The dialectic of the origin is inscribed within the very origin of dialectic as a concept. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1123
