Hegel displaces the cogito as origin by grounding it in a larger order
Evidence
In the sequence of the syllogism, self-certainty (‘self-knowing reason’) occupies the mediating position between subjectivity and objectivity. Consequently, in the realm of subjectivity, the ‘I think’, or cogito, loses its place as the point of origin, a position normally allotted to it; instead it is simply one term of a larger order. The ‘self’, therefore, is a form of subjectivity that transcends and goes beyond the ‘I’. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1074
