I once took a course that had the book «Computers in Context: The 
Philosophy and Practice of System Design» in the curriculum, 
which looks at systems development from the angle of a philsopher 
and a system development angle. Sadly, I don’t remember what it 
said about objects.

But yes, both objects and class hierarchies are reflections of 
human thought processes. Functions too, and math. Mathematicians 
talk of «mathematical objects».
