Objective precision (latin ''praecisio obiectiva'') is a philosophical term (and concept) used in [[scholasticism|late]] and especially [[Second Scholasticism]] describing the "objective" aspect of [[abstraction]]. Objective precision is the proces by which certain features (the [[differentia|differentiae]]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.
