Philosophy’s act is cognition that liberates content from the one-sidedness of its separate forms

Evidence

Philosophy thus characterizes itself as a cognition of the necessity in the content of the absolute representation (absolute Vorstellung), as also of the necessity in the two forms (Formen) – on the one hand, immediate intuition and its poetry, and the objective and external revelation presupposed by representation – on the other hand… . This cognition is thus the recognition of this content and its form; it is the liberation from the one-sidedness of the forms, elevation of them into the absolute form, which determines itself to content, remains identical to it, and is in that the cognition of that essential and actual necessity. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 951

Categorization

• DEFINE: Characterizes philosophy precisely as the cognition of necessity that overcomes each form’s one-sidedness by elevation into absolute form.
• XREF: The elevation of one-sided forms into absolute form recalls the Hegelian Aufhebung the reader knows — plasticity lives here as the capacity of form to determine itself to content. — connects to: Philosophy reconciles content and form as a sensed, non-representable absolute form — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel: Plasticity,…, 961; Philosophical propositions dialectically preserve, suppress, and present their cancelled form; Speculative thought arises inside the proposition rather than through a separate form — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel: Plasticity,…, 1139
