The notion of Aufhebung (the speculative concept par excellence, says Hegel, the concept whose untranslatable privilege is wielded by the German language) is laughable in that it signifies the busying of a discourse losing its breath as it reappropriates all negativity for itself, as it works the putting at stake into an investment, as it amortizes absolute expenditure; and as it gives meaning to death, thereby simultaneously; blinding itself to the baselessness of the nonmeaning from which the basis of meaning is drawn, and in which this basis of meaning is exhausted.
