This book explores the concept of abstraction as both a central method of philosophical inquiry and a process that inevitably encounters multiple forms of limitation. Through logical, epistemological, ontological, linguistic, existential, and mystical perspectives, it examines how abstraction can clarify, distort, transcend, or collapse into self-reference and emptiness.
It argues that while abstraction is essential for conceptual thought, it also risks severing ties with lived experience, language, and meaning. The philosopher, therefore, stands at the threshold — pushing abstraction to its limits without crossing into incoherence — maintaining the delicate balance between depth and disappearance.
