Abstraktiivisssa

Abstraktiivisssa is a Finnish term that translates to "in the abstract" or "abstractly." It is commonly used in discussions about art, philosophy, and mathematics to describe concepts, expressions, or entities that do not refer to concrete or tangible objects. In art, abstract works emphasize visual language of shape, form, color, and line, rather than depicting representational subjects. In philosophy, abstract concepts might include ideas like justice, truth, or beauty, which exist as notions rather than physical things. In mathematics, abstract entities like numbers, sets, or functions are fundamental to the discipline. The term emphasizes a departure from the concrete and the reliance on conceptual or theoretical understanding. It signifies a move away from the specific and particular towards general principles and ideas.
