This Element examines the contemporary literature on essence in
connection with the traditional question whether essence lies
within or without our world. Section 1 understands this question in
terms of a certain distinction, the distinction between active and
latent facts. Section 2 steps back to investigate the connections
between essence and other philosophical concepts. Section 3 brings
the results of this investigation to bear on the traditional
question, sketching an argument from the premise that essentialist
facts are explained by the origins of things to the conclusion that
such facts are active.
