The passivity of substance is the true form of the self seeing itself come

Evidence

Yet this passivity could by the same token be called the true form of ā€˜the Self’s seeing itself come’ (ā€˜le voir venir du Soi’). Substance’s internal auto-differentiation, which governs the division into subject and object, is at the same time a self-differentiation of the concept of division itself. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 482

Categorization

  • XREF: Fuses passivity and agency directly: the passive substrate of substance IS the anticipatory self (ā€˜voir venir’). Directly relevant to reader’s plasticity question about what converts passive receptivity into agent-capable figure.
  • QUESTION: If passivity is the true form of the self’s self-anticipation, then what institutional-discursive arrangement would tip this seeing-itself-come over into explosive action — the reader’s core question.
