Abstract

Essentialism like many philosophical subjects is rooted in the ideas of Greek philosophers. This theory is related to the stability, motion and change. In fact, a reasonable explanation of the motion and change was interest of philosophers. Aristotle's theory is in this field. This theory that concerns to laws of nature was the most notable philosophical achievements and metaphysical foundation for the science of that time. Aristotle was able to study species of plants and animals as a natural kind because of variety and apparent difference between them. In his view, any natural kind acts in goal-oriented. From this perspective, ARISTOTLE'S ESSENTIALISM has been criticism, so was not a serious activity on this topic till 20 century. Brian Ellis is formulated his scientific essentialism with offers to NATURAL KINDS and DISPOSITIONAL PROPERTIES. He offers a variety of criteria for natural kind but he does not accept biological kind because it does not satisfy some of the criteria. He claims that his scientific essentialism is realistic. The NATURAL KINDS of this theory are in transition and interact to each other. What appears depends on a variety of roles of NATURAL KINDS that participating in the process. The paper presents two ideas of Aristotle and Ellis' essentialism and pays to new essentialism functionality. This study presents why Ellis does not accept NATURAL KIND IN BIOLOGY even genetic structure and unlike the traditional view, according to close relationship between the definition and explanation, there is no such connection in Ellis's essentialism.
