| - | The proposition that '''existence precedes essence''' (l'existence précède l'essence) is a central claim of [[existentialism]], which reverses the traditional philosophical view that the [[essence]] or nature of a thing is more fundamental and immutable than its [[existence]]. To existentialists, the human being - through his [[consciousness]] - creates his own values and determines a meaning to his life, for in the beginning the human being does not possess any [[Identity (social science)|identity]] or [[Value (ethics)|value]]. By posing the acts that constitute him, he makes his existence more significant. | + | '''''Metousiosis''''' is a [[Greek language|Greek]] term (''{{lang|grc|μετουσίωσις}}'') that means a change of ''Ousia (οὐσία)'' (essence, inner reality). |
