Heidegger read Hegelian time as a farewell to time

Evidence

Let us here remember the moment in the Introduction where what was being questioned and re-questioned was, first, the Heideggerian thesis according to which Hegelian time supposedly always had ‘passed away’: ‘Hegel’s explication of the genuine concept of Being – in the passage just indicated, where time is mentioned – is nothing less than a farewell to time on the road to Spirit, which is eternal.’ — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 108
