Spirit detaches itself from the unanswerable question of its own origin
Evidence
The passage I have chosen to quote immediately follows the preceding one, and I would have liked to dwell extensively within this proposition which seems not to constitute a center of gravity but which, I would say, signifies yet another sign of farewell, another adieu (to abandon, to leave, to leave behind, say goodbye, perhaps, salute in leaving, with or without any promise of a redemptory salvation: to detach oneself). I thus formulate for the first time my question: why, as it is said, and how does Spirit detach itself from itself, by itself, from an uncontrollable, inevitable and unsteady question? Why not think or say the contrary? — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 140
