Philosophy’s absolute form, though not intuitable, remains fundamentally sensible

Evidence

Nevertheless, in so far as it is a dialectical reconciliation of content and form, philosophy remains an activity of ‘form-donation’: it is, moreover, the ‘Dasein adequate to’ spirit. To say this is to say that philosophy is a form which, while it is neither intuitable nor representable, remains all the same something that can be sensed. ‘Absolute form’ enjoys a fundamental relationship to sensibility. For how could one be a philosopher without being affected by the philosophical content? — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 961
