Plasticity is the mutual informing of universal and particular in the exemplary individual

Evidence

Thus the individual now becomes the ‘Dasein’, the ‘being-there’ of spirit, the form in which the spiritual is translated into the materiality of sense. Consequently, plasticity appears as a process where the universal and the particular mutually inform one another, and their joint outcome is that particularity called the ‘exemplary individual’. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 237
