Abstract

In ESSENTIALISM there are things in external world which have essences and these essences do not depend on how we consider or call them. According to essentialists, everything is a complex of its essential properties which is called individual essence. These properties are distinct from accidental properties and independent from how we consider or call them. On the contrary, a conventionalist does not believe in essences. According to him, a thing s essence is a mirror of how people consider or call it. According to ARISTOTLE, individuals have essences and ousias which determine their whole reality. For AVICENNA too, SUBSTANCEs -and accidents- have essences which are independent from other things. In Aristotelian-Avicennian ESSENTIALISM, knowledge and definition is just due to form and essence. While this tradition is mostly intended to solve the problems of knowledge and definition, contemporary ESSENTIALISM mostly discusses the problems of IDENTITY and possible worlds. In this tradition, an ESSENTIAL PROPERTY of a thing is the one which is belongs to in any possible world.
