The concept of object is one of the most general conc epts\n in philosophy. On the one hand, we m ay be interested in the\n general question of what it is to be an object. On the other\n hand, we face the problem of delineating the cr iteria of\n objecthood in connection with s pecialized topics, giving rise\n to specifi c questions on what it is to be an object of a\n certain kind (such as concrete, abstract, in determinate,\n mathematical, etc.). Accepti ng or refusing things of a certain\n kind a s legitimate objects (of that particular kind) whe n\n developing a scientific theory or a phi losophical position is\n likely to have imp ortant general repercussions.\n
