Reading Hegel is a hall of mutually reflecting mirrors across plasticity’s stages

Evidence

But has this demonstration really been explosive? I have shown that reading Hegel amounts to experimenting with a hall of mutually reflecting mirrors where perspectives are opened up by the different modalities of the auto-determination of substance, modalities forming the stages of plasticity. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1260
