Unreserved self-disclosure annuls giving, making exhaustive manifestation equivalent to total concealment

Evidence

Hegel’s concept of self-revelation and of the absolute presence of God which it implies, providing an ontological guarantee in the sense that God is absolutely and always present, seems on the contrary to the theologians to occult God’s giving himself as (a) present. If God reveals himself incessantly and unreservedly, holding nothing back, he is never, in reality, giving himself. Under such conditions, he could not make a ‘present’ of himself. In his study of Hegel’s Christology, Emilio Brito asserts: ‘The Hegelian God is exhaustively manifest; as a result, He is completely hidden.’ — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 686

Categorization

• DEFINE: Sharpens the paradox whereby absolute presence and total hiddenness coincide — a conceptual pivot central to how Malabou reads kenosis.
• QUESTION: Does this exhaustively-manifest-therefore-hidden logic parallel the enemy figure that is so fully known/determined it becomes unbound and plastic?
• XREF: connects to: Transparency compels conformity and erases deviation — Byung-Chul Han, Psychopolitics: Neoliberalism and New…, 176
