Abstract

Formal abstraction or abstracting intuition is, no doubt, a discovery of Aristotle. Most Aristotelians after Ockham continue to ignore it, focusing on the so-called universal abstraction only. But non-Aristotelian authors have caught sight of it too, albeit with a different language. Here we deal with someone so distant of Aristotelian positions as Ortega y Gasset. It is striking how clearly he depicts formal abstraction –which he calls «intuitive extract»– with a sort of lucidity that we do not find in many aristotelians; and all that with a view to resolve similar problems with respect to scientific knowledge.
