sublation

is a kind of progress in both concepts and things involving at one and the same time dialectical canceling out, preserving, and raising-up.

Also translated as 'supersede' and 'sublimate'. It incorporates the senses of (i) to cancel out, abolish, do away with, or reverse (a judgement), (ii) to keep or preserve, and (iii) to lift or raise up. Sublation connotes progress, by virtue of (i)-(iii): when something is sublated, it is not done away with but retained and preserved in the higher product which supersedes it. Sublation involves mediation and (determinate) negation. Hegel speaks of both concepts and things as sublated.

is the idea of retaining, for example, the law, through its very suspension as a subordinate (potential) moment of higher actual unity.

Pauline love is not the cancellation or destructive' negation of the Law, but its accomplishment in the sense of subiation [Aufhebung]': Pauline love is not the cancellation or destructive negation of the Law, but its accomplishment in the sense of'subiation,' where the Law is retained through its very suspension, as a subordinate (potential) moment of a higher actual unity' (Zizek 2003 112).
