Description
Quinta Essentia
In Philosophy and Theology, it refers to the property or set of properties or attributes that make an entity, without which it would lose its identity. The perfect example of something. And we easily forget Saint-Exupéry's words in "The little prince", where the little prince says: And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly: what is essential is invisible to the eye.
