Reading a speculation means joining the proposition’s backward movement toward its origin

Evidence

At the moment when the reader suffers the ‘counter-thrust’, ‘instead of being for itself, the reader has to remain associated (zusammensein) with the content itself’ of the proposition, in other words to join its backward movement. In so doing, the origin comes closer, the reader approaches the absolute origin which always retreats towards itself. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1216
