Object

As an English word, object has many senses. At least two of these senses are subjects of Wikipedia articles:

• [object (philosophy)]?
• object-oriented language (computing)

While we're waiting for parenthesis feature to be turned on, we can include the future contents of [object (philosophy)]? below:

As used by philosophers, in general, an object is something that can have properties and relations?. Hence a particular object is, basically, either a particular material body or a particular mind--or, on a neutral monist view, a particular that can be viewed under both physical and mental aspects.

Objects are often treated as types of particulars, but occasionally, philosophers see fit to speak of [abstract object]?s--[Platonic form]?s would be an example.

As used by software developers, an object is a construct having properties and methods?. As in philosophy a particular object has features in common with others of the same class (a dog barks), but it also has information unique to it (e.g., Lassie's trainer is Russ Featherfax)
