In [[philosophy]] and [[second scholasticism]], '''objective precision''' (Latin ''praecisio obiectiva'') is the "objective" aspect of [[abstraction]]. Objective precision is the process by which certain features (the [[differentia]]e) of the real object of a [[formal concept]] 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.
