| Definition Of: |
ABSTRACTION
[L:100] One of three logical acts of the understanding "by which concepts are generated as to their form", the others being comparison and reflection. Abstraction is "the segregation of everything else by which given presentations differ....the most abstract concept is that which has nothing in common with any concept differing from it. This is the concept of something; for what is different from it is nothing".
