Abstract Objects
abstract entities
Abstract entities such as numbers, propositions, and universals are usually contrasted with concrete entities such as tables, tadpoles, and quasars. While concrete entities are typically held to exist contingently, stand in causal relations, and occupy space and time, abstract entities are usually (though controversially) held to be necessary existents that are causally inert and "outside" of space and time.
