== Ontological requirements on the part of the object ==
The schools are divided in their opinion what constitutes the necessary condition on the part of the object in order that objective precision be possible. According to the [[Thomism|Thomists]] a [[virtual distinction]] on the part of the object between the excluded differentia and the arising abstracted objective concept is sufficient to make objective precision possible. According to the [[Scotism|Scotists]], a [[formal distinction]] is generally required, although certain Scotists (like [[Bartolomeo Mastri]]) regard virtual distinction as sufficient in certain special cases. Suárez defends objective precision but he denies any distinctions on the part of the object. The nominalists (conceptualists) agree with the Scotists that a formal distintion would be necessary to enable objective precision, but since they regard such a distinction as impossible, they reject objective precision altogether.
