  3. 3
    Operación del conocimiento superior que consiste en prescindir de la existencia concreta singular para obtener los conceptos universales de la ciencia física; en un primer grado de abstracción. En un segundo grado de abstracción es la prescindencia de la materia sensible, quedando solo con lo inteligible, como la Geometría por ejemplo. El tercer grado de abstracción solo considera las primeras nociones del orden sensible e inteligible, como la causa, el efecto, etc.
  4. 4
    Estado de distracción con respecto al entorno por estar la actividad síquica completamente ocupada en una dirección, olvidando todo lo demás.
  5. 5
    Aislar y destacar un elemento separándolo de otros que lo puedan acompañar, así, por ejemplo, la teoría del conocimiento abstrae rasgos y cualidades de los objetos para considerarlos separadamente. En la filosofía moderna el racionalismo defiende la abstracción regulada metódicamente, en cambio el empirismo exige a toda abstracción un fundamento en la experiencia sensible.
