The Aufhebung has a history within philosophy, not an idiosyncrasy of Hegel

Evidence

If we are always to stigmatize the Aufhebung as an idiosyncrasy – the ‘tic’ in Hegel’s thought – aren’t we forgetting that this structure has always been at work in the history of philosophy? Aren’t we forgetting that the Aufhebung itself has a history, brought together and elaborated by Hegel? — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1008

Categorization

• QUESTION: Worth chasing: does Malabou’s claim that sublation pre-exists Hegel undermine or enrich the novelty of Hegel’s dialectic?
• XREF: connects to: Hegel’s aufheben conflates accepting and rejecting the given, hiding real revolt — Simone de Beauvoir, The Ethics of Ambiguity, 87; Aufhebung is itself transformed across spirit’s development rather than remaining fixed — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel: Plasticity,…, 1005; Aristotelian hexis and Kantian imagination prefigure the Aufhebung structure — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel: Plasticity,…, 1007
