Essentialism 🧠
Essentialism is the view that objects have inherent attributes that are necessary to their identity. Plato held that all things have an “essence”—an “idea” or “form.” Aristotle similarly proposed that all objects have a substance that “make the thing what it is, and without which it would not be that kind of thing.”
