Anti-Essentialism - Economics Dictionary of Arguments | |||
Anti-essentialism is a philosophical stance rejecting the idea that entities have a set of attributes necessary to their identity and function. It argues against the existence of fixed, inherent qualities defining the essence of things or categories, such as gender, race, or species. Instead, it sees such identities as constructed, fluid, and subject to change, often emphasizing social and cultural influences. | |||
