Are there any books that talk about the capacity of 'abstraction'? I'm not quite sure what I'm even looking for, abstraction seems to be the single most critical ability that separates us from the animal kingdom. I guess I'm looking for some kind of metaphysical(?) system that explains abstraction, so I can ponder on it. I just know abstraction is a crucial human ability, but I want some deeper understanding of it as an action and its consequence on us as beings, or people in a civilization.
