What is Abstraction?
Abstraction is at the heart of both Mathematics and Computer Science.
In fact I believe both Mathematics and Computer Science are the embodiment of forms of Abstraction.
I will save you from technical definitions, you can find that with a cursory search or at the links at the bottom of the page.
What I want to discuss here is more philosophical and I think we can begin to look at the subject from,
- Epistemological,
- Ontological
- Pragmatic
- Ethical
points of view.
