Hegelian abrogation is sublation working upon itself to achieve freedom

Evidence

However, contrary to what one would initially imagine, these two processes of sublation and abrogation are completely interdependent. Considering the last moment of absolute spirit (Philosophy), one readily notes the synonymy between the verbs aufheben3 and befreien (’ to liberate’), as well as ablegen (‘to discard’, ‘to remove’, ‘to take away’). Speculative abrogation, in no way alien to the process of the Aufhebung, is indeed its fulfilment. Abrogation is a sublation of sublation (relève de la relève), the result of the Aufhebung’s work on itself and, as such, its transformation. The movement of suppression and preservation produces this transformation at a certain moment in history, the moment of Absolute Knowledge. Speculative abrogation is the absolute sublation, if by ‘absolute’ we mean a relief or sublation (relève) that frees from a certain type of attachment. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1076

Categorization

• DEFINE: Defines speculative abrogation as a sublation of sublation — the ‘relève de la relève’ — frees from attachment, distinct from simple Aufhebung.
• XREF: Connects to the core plasticity concept being traced — abrogation as sublation’s self-transformation parallels the plastic overhaul Malabou links to the brain. — connects to: Absolute Knowledge transforms sublation itself rather than halting the dialectic.; The System’s authorlessness is what separates sublation from the bad infinite — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel: Plasticity,…, 1094; Hegel’s letting-go appears to contradict sublation’s retention of everything. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel: Plasticity,…, 1075 (+6 more)
• SEED: Angle: abrogation as the moment a system loosens its own attachment to its content — could frame brain plasticity as a freeing, not just a preserving, operation.
