Virtualität als Ausdruck materieller Mehrdimensionalität von Bewusstseins-Vollzügen - trans-zeitliche Erweiterungen des Performativen

The present work examines the performative dimension of consciousness in philosophy, based on Hegel's dialectical method and extended through the concepts of plasticity by Catherine Malabou and the apparatus by Karen Barad. It begins with an analysis of Hegelian consciousness, which develops through the stages of sense certainty to self-consciousness. The focus is on the performative nature of this development, which understands consciousness as a continuous process of self-reflection and transformation. By integrating Malabou's concept of plasticity, the work highlights the ability of consciousness for self-formation and reconfiguration, while Barad's theory of the apparatus emphasizes the intra-active processes that determine the material and discursive constitution of reality. The study shows how these two concepts extend Hegelian consciousness to a multidimensional perspective, where the boundaries between mind and matter, subject and object, as well as virtuality and actuality, are fluid. Performative philosophy is portrayed as a living, dynamic process that not only describes the world but actively co-creates it. In the conclusion, it is argued that the performative method allows for a radical redefinition of the subject and its identity, going beyond traditional philosophical approaches and opening new avenues for self-exploration beyond linear temporality.

Abstract

The present work examines the performative dimension of consciousness in philosophy, based on Hegel's dialectical method and extended through the concepts of plasticity by Catherine Malabou and the apparatus by Karen Barad. It begins with an analysis of Hegelian consciousness, which develops through the stages of sense certainty to self-consciousness. The focus is on the performative nature of this development, which understands consciousness as a continuous process of self-reflection and transformation. By integrating Malabou's concept of plasticity, the work highlights the ability of consciousness for self-formation and reconfiguration, while Barad's theory of the apparatus emphasizes the intra-active processes that determine the material and discursive constitution of reality. The study shows how these two concepts extend Hegelian consciousness to a multidimensional perspective, where the boundaries between mind and matter, subject and object, as well as virtuality and actuality, are fluid. Performative philosophy is portrayed as a living, dynamic process that not only describes the world but actively co-creates it. In the conclusion, it is argued that the performative method allows for a radical redefinition of the subject and its identity, going beyond traditional philosophical approaches and opening new avenues for self-exploration beyond linear temporality.
