English term

abstract away

English to Spanish Social Sciences Economics
Hello,

This is the full sentence:

...what he adds to this range of inquiry is the insistence that political economy cannot abstract away personal or individuals’ responsibility for their actions

I am not sure of the meaning, is it something along the lines of "separar" ?

Thanks
