Having or possession is really a suspended, withdrawn holding of being
Evidence
The accomplished act confirms a presence that has pre-existed, albeit withdrawn into itself. This ‘presence in a state of withdrawal’ is what characterizes a thing that is possessed, as if ‘having’ becomes the same as being-in-withdrawal, suspended being. This withdrawal or suspension of being is the other name of ις. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 448
Categorization
- DEFINE: Equates hexis (having) with being-in-withdrawal or suspended being — a definitional move linking possession to passivity-within-activity.
