Abstract
Philosopher Daniel Dennett discusses the question posed by Socrates about what constitutes the essence of things. He notes that after Darwin and in the wake of modern science in general, the notion that anything has an immutable, ever-lasting essence doesn't make much sense, because things tend to change over time.
