The subject-matter of biology is mediated by objects. From a specified and general term of object the term ''biological object'' can be deri ved as a special term of object. Living objects have some special qual ities in comparison with nonliving objects, which must be taken into c onsideration by the production of biological knowledges. Standardized objects and theoretical essential objects have a special importance fo r theoretical generalizations. Criterions for the suitability of objec ts are suitable both for research and teaching. The discussion of poss ible contents of a biological theory of object is biotheoretically sig nificant.
