The schema is the plastic form mediating giving and receiving

Evidence

The name of the philosophical form of this dual penetration proper to plasticity, that is to say, the form which receives just as much as it gives, this plastic form, is nothing but that enigmatic betwixt and between called a schema. It is, between Kant and Hegel, the scene of so many fundamental questions and debates, some explicit, some less so, questions and debates which have, in any case, shaped (I could hardly say here schematized) a philosophical legacy far greater than us all. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 68
