Time is only a formal determination displaceable by plasticity

Evidence

It is possible, and likely, that she also claims, if I may say it openly, that time really is not the question. Time is not the fundamental theme of the difficulty. It is but a formal and abstract determination, the ‘time-form’ of which we will speak of later, the vacant middle of a process in which we must recognize so many more determinations, all the other processual determinations, and in particular what we here designate under the dialectical terms of the expression ‘to see (what is) coming’ and of ‘plasticity’. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 105

Categorization

• DEFINE: DEFINE: Establishes that Hegelian time is a mere ‘time-form’ — a vacant middle the reader should not treat as fundamental, and that plasticity is the category replacing it.
• XREF: Connect: Derrida displacing time as fundamental theme resonates with the reader’s brain-plasticity project — the refusal to root identity in a single temporal axis. — connects to: Time divides analytically into a static before-after order and a dynamic flowing course.; Positing the future as plasticity displaces the future’s definition as a moment of time; Time is plastic because it differentiates itself both synchronically and diachronically (+3 more)
