Libraries are always paradoxical: they are as personal as the collector, and at the same time are an ideal statement of knowledge that is impersonal, because it is universal, abstract, and so much larger than an individual life.
A secondary but no less major goal shall be to compare the merits of a Bobaljikian analysis of the *ABA effect in terms of universal, abstract structure (e.g., 'the structure of the humilific contains the structure of the honorific') to a system-external account in which historical considerations give rise to the suppletion facts.
It could even be that because the wholeness of the human person and even of creation is at stake, not an appeal to so-called "moral law," or "natural law," or to universal, abstract morality, all of which reify the apparatuses of cultural institutions, the former is emphasized and the latter apparently neglected.

Therefore, cultural-historical science seeks "ideographic" knowledge; it aims to understand the particular, concrete and irrational "historical individual" with inescapably universal, abstract, and rational concepts.
They also questioned the presupposition that the more universal, abstract, impartial, and rational knowledge is, the more closely it mirrors reality.
Auriol is explicit that universal concepts (formed through the Aristotelian process of abstraction) always appear to us as abstractive cognitions, since what is universal abstracts from any presentness and directness of the object of cognition (see e.g. Scriptum, Prologue, q. 2, ed. Buytaert, p. 206, n. 111, l. 87, Pasnau 2002, p. 207; cf. Friedman 1997, pp. 310 14).
And this raises the metaphysical question of whether it is possible for there to be a being not a universal or an abstract object of some other sort, but an active substance that is everlasting or non-temporal.
Thus, insofar as the formally same nature is actually considered by a human mind in abstraction from these individualizing conditions, it is a universal, a species, an abstract object of a mental act whereby a human mind conceives of any individualized human nature without its individuating conditions.
In particular, as a universal and widely valued, yet abstract stimulus, music is ideally suited to probe interactions between reward, affective and cortical information processing circuitry (Omar et al., 2011; Salimpoor et al. 2013).
By this time, Turing's abstract idea of a universal computing machine had become a reality.
