Extending a concept’s meaning requires ordered transformations of its intelligibility

Evidence

To elaborate as a whole all the instances of the Hegelian concept of plasticity implies the task of ‘varying the intelligibility’ of this concept, ‘extending’ its signification ‘through ordered transformations’. This amounts to the following: revealing the link between these two sides, internal and external, and, no less, discovering the manner in which ‘form’ happens (la manière dont la forme prend) in the Hegelian System and after it. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 251
