Summary/Abstract: Sosnowski reads Catherine Malabou’s The Future of Hegel alongside Derrida’s hauntology, or, more broadly speaking, in the context of the modern project initiated by Heidegger, i.e. the deconstruction of the static identity of traditional metaphysics. A key concept here is ambivalence – both for Heidegger, who constructs his criticism of metaphysics around it, and for Derrida, for whom the spectre represents the incarnation/death of ambivalence itself. Malabou’s notion of plasticity also tries to capture a certain (non)original doubleness or duality as something that is the motor of all metamorphoses.
