In Hegel fulfilled subjectivity abandons its human and anthropological shape

Evidence

After the Philosophy of Spirit, man will no longer be the subject of the speculative development. This means that subjectivity, on its way to its fulfilment as absolute spirit, no longer bears a human shape and severs itself from any strictly anthropological basis. There is only one moment at which man returns as a question and as one of the essential moments in the Encyclopedia, and that is the religious moment, which introduces the idea of the Incarnation. But between the Anthropology and Revealed Religion, subjectivity abandons the human soul first appearing at the dawn of spirit. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 607

• XREF: Man returning as question only in the religious Incarnation is a striking hinge worth connecting to the reader’s interest in spirit exceeding the human. — connects to: For Hegel all nature is second nature, making habit non-anthropological — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel: Plasticity,…, 492; The Muselmann is an indefinite being blurring humanity’s defining boundaries; Critiquing pessimistic anthropology means abandoning doctrines of human immutability — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School: Its History,…, 624
• QUESTION: Worth chasing: whether the Incarnation’s reintroduction of man complicates the claim that plasticity is not fundamentally anthropological.
