Fluidification in Hegel frees energy imprisoned by the subject-object split

Evidence

To understand this crucial point, we must return to a dual movement of letting-go that transpires when, on both sides, the ‘I think’ and the objective determinatenesses renounce the fixity and independence of their positions. From this they pass into a stage of fluidification, and this fluidification should be recognized as a liberation of energy. Force, previously contained within the strict limits imposed by a transcendental perspective, which the gap between subject and object particularly sustains, now breaks away from these bonds and becomes free for other combinations and other syntheses. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1125
