Freud’s thought implicitly structures The Future of Hegel throughout without being named.

Evidence

We shall speak again of these differences between goodbye and farewell, that is, between all of these farewells. Each in its proper time, and it will always be at that very time when we shall have to say ‘goodbye’ or ‘farewell’. Freud? Yes, if this book never names him per se, everything in it seems to address him, point by point, in each and every word, almost as if he was already participating in a major and seriously worked out explication. There is so much more to be learned here about the Freudian discourse on life and death, and thus on so many modalities of Freud’s analysis, than in a host of books explicitly psychoanalytical. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 50
