Synopsis

This book explores the profound concept of essence, a cornerstone of philosophical inquiry. The author delves into the intricate relationship between essence and being, tracing the transition from the immediate to the mediated, and the emergence of self-relation. The author argues that essence, far from being a static concept, is an active process of self-determination, revealing the dynamic nature of reality. This book positions essence within the broader context of the philosophy of being and the history of thought, offering a fresh perspective on the nature of existence and the interplay between the immediate and the mediated. Its insights shed light on the ways in which essence shapes and is shaped by the world around us, revealing the depth and complexity of this fundamental philosophical concept.
