Hegel innovated by defining dialectic as simultaneous arising and disappearing

Evidence

In the Phenomenology of Spirit, Hegel discovers a meaning of the concept ‘dialectic’ which no one before him had used, namely, the action of at once arising and disappearing. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 879

Categorization

  • QUESTION: Worth chasing: how does this ‘arise-and-disappear’ reading of dialectic connect to (or complicate) the standard thesis-antithesis-synthesis caricature — and does Malabou push Baum’s innovation claim further toward plastic movement?
  • XREF: connects to: Hegel invented the dialectic as a movement of establishing and vanishing determinations; Hegel alone gave dialectic the meaning of arising and passing away
