Objective precision
open-in-new
<p> In <a href="/facts/Philosophy/zAH5PVD6">philosophy</a> and <a href="/facts/Second_scholasticism/QwtzrVYp">second scholasticism</a>, objective precision is the "objective" aspect of <a href="/facts/Abstraction/p7l9eHGd">abstraction</a>. Objective precision is the process by which certain features (the <a href="/facts/Differentia/oX1g4V2l">differentiae</a>) of the real object of a <a href="/facts/Formal_concept/ztxSSxMB">formal concept</a> are excluded from the comprehension of that concept; the object is thus being intentionally transformed into a universal objective concept. Objective precision is thus a process by which universal objective concepts arise. It is the "objective" aspect of the process of (total) abstraction or concept-formation. </p>
