Voir venir and plasticity jointly structure subjectivity’s self-projection

Evidence

The voir venir stands for the operation of synthetic temporalizing in Hegel’s thought, which means it is the structure of anticipation through which subjectivity projects itself in advance of itself, and thereby participates in the process of its own determination. Plasticity for its part guarantees the differential energy which traverses the very heart of the movement inherent in ‘to see (what is) coming’, appearing as the condition of possibility for this projection. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 277

Categorization

  • DEFINE: Sharpens the division of labor between the two motor-concepts: voir venir is the anticipatory projection; plasticity is its enabling differential energy.
