Hegel discovered the plastic free energy circulating through every life before modernity named it.

Evidence

Thus it is Hegel who will have discovered before its discovery the plastic materiality of being: that free energy, whether organic or synthetic, which circulates throughout in each and every life. From now on the philosopher lives in the tension created by the existence of pure ‘possibility’ inherent in such an energy, and bears the responsibility of protecting and preserving the rudimentary being of subjectivity: its fragile and finite kernel. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1285
