Entity is part of a universal being, which embraces and transcends all reality.

Abstraction a fundamental moment of the cognitive process 

We can point out that abstraction is a process by which the human intellect draws universal concepts out of individual object, regardless of their spatial-temporal characteristics. Plato placed among the function of dialectics that of distinguishing an idea from another so that it can be accountable to itself and others. The dialectic consists in the interaction between two opposing theses or principles (symbolically represented in Plato's dialogues by two real people) and is used as an investigative tool of truth.

Aristotle believed that the intelligible forms existed only in the sensitive objects, as sources of their universal characteristics, and that the soul could, by abstraction, make them stand out in their purity so as to achieve the ability to know them.

Aristotle distinguishes three degrees of abstraction.
There is a physics abstraction, which captures what is characteristic of a number of material bodies. This form of abstraction does not rise above the physical world; it only detects a kind of common footprint to several concrete things. The second level of abstraction is the mathematical one that rises above the purely material level and identifies the immaterial characteristics common to the corporeal things. In other words the mathematical abstraction takes into account the real, under the geometrical and physical aspect. In the end the metaphysical abstraction that is independent from the general characteristics of the matter, rises above the extension of the bodies to capture the essential features, the immaterial aspect (that is to declare the truth) of what is.

Dialectics has for Hegel two meanings closely related: in a first sense it is the process by which the Absolute is recognized in reality that, at first, appeared to it as alien or opposed, removing or conciliating precisely that opposition; in a second sense it is the process by which reality, overcoming the divisions, stays peaceful - as Hegel says – in the unity of the Whole. Of the latter, arranged in detail by Aristotle the term is used to demonstrate the operation that takes the intelligible into the sensible.
