The triad Man, God, Philosopher are not fixed subjects but plastic sites of self-formation

Evidence

But in fact, Man, God, Philosopher, far from being subjects constituted in advance, turn out to be the sites where subjectivity forms itself. They are the plastic instances (instances plastiques) where the three great moments of self-determination – the Greek, the modern, and that of Absolute Knowledge – give themselves the ā€˜form’ of moments, in other words, where they create their own specific temporality. From this perspective, the notion of ā€˜step’ loses its evaluative content, and only signifies the break or interruption – the operation of breaking – in the self-formation of time itself. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 289
