This video examines the essentialist account of natural kinds. I begin by outlining the basic commitments of essentialism. I then discuss Putnam's theory of the semantics of kind terms, a view which has been highly influential among modern essentialists. Finally, I examine essentialism in biology. The general consensus among philosophers is that essentialism fails as an account of kinds in biology. I explore some possible reasons for this.
