Summary/Abstract: The article shows the inadequacy of understanding micro-objects in terms of the ontologies of substantial individual beings and the irreducible metaphorically of such concepts as „particle”, „wave” or „individual object”. An attempt was made to construct the concept of a quantum object as a conceptual blend, using the blending theory.
