The two are not mutually exclusive.

One thing you don't seem to grasp is that people aren't objects.

The definition of the noun "object" does not exclude people, however much some people might object.
People are material, and can be perceived by the senses.
Definition 2 even includes a person as an example of an object.
At the risk of being spanked for sexism once again: people do constitute a subset of objects.
