The deciding Self is the System as Self, prior to the individual I

Evidence

It is a primordial subjectivity, a synthetic instance earlier than the ‘I-self’: I is the System itself, the System as a Self. The System collects and is made up of all the determinations or aspects. Yet how does such a ‘Self’ have the power to decide? And how will the ‘I-Self’, in its detachment from self, be able to renounce itself in favour of this later ‘Self’? — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1084
