Hegelian alienation is an epoch-specific temporal process, not an atemporal category

Evidence

The problem posed by this way of reading is that it fails to make explicit the temporality of alienation. Alienation is allowed to operate as an atemporal category, while it is clear that Hegel only uses the concept of EntĂ€ußerung to characterize a process intrinsic and unique to the modern epoch of subjectivity. If there is no place in Hegel for the idea of a ‘time in the world’, there is, on the other hand, an idea of the time of the world, a concept that is speciïŹcally Christian. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 916
