The speculative concept is a self-moving subject that takes its determinations back into itself

Evidence

Speculative (begreifenden) thinking behaves in a different way. Since the concept is the object’s own self, which presents itself as the coming-to-be of the object (als sein Werden darstellt), it is not a passive subject (ruhendes Subjekt) motionlessly (unbewegt) supporting the accidents; it is rather the self-moving concept which takes its determinations back into itself. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1209
