Representational thought fragments the notion into separate successive events
Evidence
Representational knowledge gives to each moment of the notion a separate being, and ‘makes them presuppositions towards each other, and phenomena which succeed each other in a relationship that is a series of events (einem Zusammenhang des Geschehens) according to finite reflective categories’. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 660
Categorization
- DEFINE: Defines the limitation of Vorstellung: it serializes into temporal events what speculative thought holds together as one notion.
- DEEPTHINKING: Representation’s fragmentation of the concept into a causal event-series is precisely what the transition to speculative philosophy must undo — the motor of the Religion-to-Philosophy passage.
- XREF: connects to: Representation distorts the concept by temporalizing and spatializing its logical moments — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel: Plasticity,…, 661; Representational thinking turns being and non-being from simultaneity into mere succession; Interiorization of natural time transforms mere sequence into subjective synthetic unity — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel: Plasticity,…, 392
