What Dominique Pagani says
Dominique Pagani presents Aufhebung through the German word aufheben, which means both to suppress and to preserve1. Later he adds the sense of lifting up, or raising23. To illustrate it, he often uses the image of the fruit that fulfils the flower by suppressing it4. He applies it in several fields. Thus, to fulfil the law is to suppress it, since it is no longer needed5. In Nerval, going to Rousseau's tomb preserves the best of the maternal memory6. In the history of ideas, he uses the term to describe Hegel's relation to Romanticism2. He also uses it for Marx's relation to Hegel: Marx preserves what is revolutionary in Hegel and suppresses the fantasy7. In 2023, he comments on the French translation "relève": to relieve a guard is to suppress one guard without suppressing the guard itself3.
