Hegel’s letting-go appears to contradict sublation’s retention of everything.

Evidence

Given that ‘abrogation’ (dessaisissement) suggests renunciation and dispossession, or, in legal language, the action whereby one gives up one’s property to another, this seems at first to present a term opposite in meaning to ‘sublation’, that movement which apparently gives up nothing and lets nothing escape. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1075

Categorization

• DEFINE: Introduces the motif of ‘speculative abrogation’ (dessaisissement) as an apparent counter-term to Aufhebung.
• QUESTION: How does Malabou resolve this apparent opposition between letting-go and sublation — does release itself become a form of sublation?
• XREF: connects to: Hegelian abrogation is sublation working upon itself to achieve freedom — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel: Plasticity,…, 1076; Letting-go of one-sidedness is itself the renunciation that began the dialectic — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel: Plasticity,…, 1089
