The Trinity is the logical self-determination of substance into subject.
Evidence
Revealed Religion develops the concept of the Trinity as a movement conforming to the logical development of the substance-subject. God the Father – who is the moment of substance in its potentiality – undergoes an auto-determination, producing the moment of God the Son; the moment of Spirit completes the reconciliation of that split thus created. All the philosophical attributes of the modern concept of subjectivity can be deduced from the process presented by this speculative proposition. It is in God and as God that we see manifested the ‘becoming subject’ of substance. This is, in fact, the moment of substance-subject. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 634
Categorization
- DEFINE: Gives the precise conceptual schema: Father as potential substance, Son as auto-determination/split, Spirit as reconciliation — the speculative proposition through which substance ‘becomes subject.’ This is the plasticity-at-the-core-of-divinity passage.
- XREF: Core of the plasticity concept via Hegel: God’s auto-differentiation and reconciliation is the template for the self-donning and self-undergoing of form that Malabou will extend to the brain. — connects to: In the third syllogism self-knowing reason mediates by dividing itself into spirit and nature — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel: Plasticity,…, 986; The human ideal of God is a self-contradictory synthesis of the in-itself and for-itself — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness: An Essay on…, 67; The syllogism defines the living organism through three self-relations
- ADDENDUM: The triadic auto-determination-reconciliation structure is a strong theoretical sibling to grafted-tree and sacrificed-king motifs already covered — a divine self-splitting that must be healed.
