Spirit presents itself differently in nature, art, religion, and philosophy
Evidence
Between the three moments of absolute spirit – art, religion and philosophy – the difference is not of content but of form, and this has two consequences. First, the spiritual in-formation, the labour in which speculative content gives itself its form, does not have the same nature or the same outcome in all three moments. To this extent, as a second consequence, the relationship enjoyed by spirit or by individual consciousness to these modalities of ‘in-formation’ is no longer uniform, and in its turn is differentiated into figuration, representation, and conceptual thought. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 944 (

The in itself and for itself of the eternal consists in its selfimparting (sich aufzuschließen), self-determining (zu bestimmen), in judging (zu urteilen) and positing itself in the form of a difference (sich als Unterscheidenes seiner zu stehen); but this difference, this distinction, is also always and eternally sublated, so that in and for itself the eternal is reconciled with itself in its return to self; only thus is it spirit. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 700 (
