Modern subjectivity’s emptiness extends the divine self-emptying of kenosis.

Evidence

From being an act of the divine, this becomes a philosophical process. The truth of kenosis is philosophically realized by subjectivity’s self-dispossession when it confronts the limits it cannot cross. Thus there is an essential and indissoluble rapport between the kenosis of the divine and the emptiness of the transcendental. Working his way from one emptiness to another, Hegel brings to light the essence of modern subjectivity as kenosis. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 807

Categorization

• DEFINE: Defines what ‘kenosis’ means in Hegel’s system — the self-emptying that divine sacrifice and transcendental subjectivity share.
• XREF: Connects to the Hegelian negation/self-alienation logic of subjectivity central to Malabou’s plasticity thesis — the emptying that enables reconfiguration. — connects to: Divine kenosis and reason’s inaccessible beyond are one and the same event — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel: Plasticity,…, 758; God’s kenosis gives philosophic subjectivity its temporal form; God’s self-emptying is a founding and not merely a diminishment for Hegel — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel: Plasticity,…, 1258
• SEED: Angle: how the concept of self-emptying (kenosis) connects theological sacrifice to philosophical theories of selfhood — a bridge piece for existentialist readers.
