Abstractio was the term chosen by Boetius for the translation of the Greek term afairesis. Abstractio signalizes a systemic operative cognitive dynamics, through which a part, a characteristic or an element of an integrated systemic whole is separated from that same whole upon which it constitutively depends, as concrete existent, particular and contingent, to be constituted (that part) as an object of thought, conceptually existent and available to be approached and cognitively synthesized as a universal entity with an objective value.
