In social philosophy[2], **objectification** means treating a person as a thing, without regard to their dignity[3].

According to the philosopher Martha Nussbaum[4], a person is objectified if they are treated:

* as a tool for another's purposes (instrumentality);
* as if lacking in [agency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agency_(philosophy%5C[5])) or self-determination[6] (denial of autonomy[7], inertness[8]);
* as if owned by another (ownership[9]);
* as if interchangeable (fungibility[10]);
* as if permissible to damage or destroy (violability[11]);
* as if there is no need for concern for their feelings and experiences (denial of subjectivity[12]).
