Essentialism has been the dominant framework for Western philosophy for over 2,500 years.
Essentialism focuses on relationships and rejects the notion of a predefined entity or a normative understanding of the person.
Christian philosophy was strongly influenced by Plato's works. Many of our ideas of soul derive as much from Plato as from the Scriptures.
Plato is an essentialist in particular for his theory of Forms and his prioritization of the Form of the Good above all other realities.

These claims are true.
These claims are not necessarily true and perhaps false.
