Plasticity is itself an experience of farewell.
Evidence
This logic would, in this way, infinitely attempt to fold itself (for it is a fold without any outside, any outside/inside, a fold on oneself) but to fold itself at the same time in plasticity and to plasticity. One may as well say that plasticity is an experience of farewell. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 153
Categorization
Category: Definitional Content
- DEFINE: Derrida’s compressed identification: plasticity = a self-folding that is inseparable from a structure of taking-leave.
- DEEPTHINKING: That plasticity is a ‘fold without any outside’ yet ‘folds itself in plasticity’ is an unusually tight compression of the receiver/agent double identity — no exterior from which the form arrives, so the giving that shapes also comes only from the receiving self.
