In literature the term “objects” is used in an impressively multifaceted way, ranging from tangible items that appeal to the senses to abstract entities that serve as focal points for thought and desire. In some texts, “objects” denote aesthetically pleasing or physically measurable items—consider Burke’s observation of “beautiful objects” as small in quantity [1] or Jules Verne’s attention to how physical objects “fade away into the distance” [2, 3]. In contrast, philosophical works often deploy the term to discuss abstract entities or targets of cognition; for instance, Kant and Hume use “objects” to refer to the content of our perceptions and ideas, with Kant proposing that even sensuous objects have a distinct role in shaping cognition [4, 5, 6] and Hume stressing their variability despite underlying unity [7]. Meanwhile, in works ranging from Freud’s exploration of libidinal objects [8] to descriptions of everyday phenomena in literature ([9], [10], [11]), “objects” become symbols of both physical reality and conceptual thought. This varied usage underscores how “objects” can simultaneously represent the concrete and the conceptual, serving as anchors in discussions of beauty, truth, desire, and perception.
