/lit/ - Literature

Most of the current political issues have the roots into the philosophical discussion regarding essentialism and the rejection of it. I believe that the current dichotomy between left and right can be simply defined as essentialism vs antiessentialism. Any opinions /lit/?

Personally, I am an essentialist. I believe that as long I adhere to the materialistic philosophy, it is simply impossible to reject essentialism. The matter is a subject in itself and that necessitate the essentialism and its subsequent logical conclusions.
