The logical Idea is the universal mode sublating all particular modes

Evidence

The logical Idea is the Idea itself in its pure essence, the Idea enclosed in simple identity within its concept prior to its immediate reflection in a form-determination. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 966

The logical aspect of the absolute Idea may also be called a mode of it; but whereas mode signifies a particular kind, a determination of form, the logical aspect, on the contrary, is the universal mode in which all particular modes are sublated and enfolded. The logical Idea is the Idea itself in its pure essence, the Idea enclosed in simple identity within its concept prior to its immediate reflection in a form-determination. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 966
