Essentialism

From Geography

The essentialism is an approach in the Human Geography that means that every entity has his own characterics. These characterics makes the entity to what it in essence means. All objects like a car, house, human being, spoon ore an train have characterisics that make the objects to what they are.

Without these essential characterics the object has not the definition that makes the object to what is should be. Also in Human Geography are characteristics that make difference between different people, spaces and time. The difference between people are determined by the biology. All bodies are different what means that different characteristics of the bodies. Without organs there is no human being and without an engine there is no car.
