In ordinary language, the word "object" denotes a material thing that can be seen and touched. By contrast, in modern philosophy "object" (objectum, Gegenstand) stands for whatever can be thought about: it applies to concrete things and abstract ones, arbitrary assemblages and structured wholes, electrons and nations, stones and ghosts, individuals and sets, properties and events, facts and fictions, and so on.
