Essentialism is a philosophical theory that suggests that certain entities possess a set of attributes essential to their identity and function. This concept can be applied in various fields, including metaphysics, biology, sociology, and education, among others. The idea revolves around the belief that there are inherent traits or characteristics that define the essence of a particular group, category, or individual. In metaphysics, essentialism posits that objects and beings have a set of characteristics that make them what they fundamentally are.
