 Essence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In philosophy, essence is the attribute (or set of attributes) that make an object or substance what it fundamentally is, and that it has necessarily, in contrast with accident, properties that the object or substance has contingently and without which the substance could have existed.
Existentialism is founded on Jean-Paul Sartre's statement that "existence precedes essence." In as much as "essence" is a cornerstone of all metaphysical philosophy and the grounding of Rationalism, Sartre's statement was a refutation of the philosophical system that had come before him (and, in particular, that of Husserl, Hegel, and Heidegger).
The notion of essence has acquired many slightly but importantly different shades of meaning throughout the history of philosophy; most of them derive from its use by Aristotle and its evolution within the scholastic tradition.

 Socrates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For this, Socrates is customarily regarded as the father and fountainhead for ethics or moral philosophy, and of philosophy in general.
Socrates lived during the time of the transition from the height of the Athenian Empire to its decline after its defeat by Sparta and its allies in the Peloponnesian War.
Socrates himself attested that he, having learned to live with Xanthippe, would be able to cope with any other human being, just as a horse trainer accustomed to wilder horses might be more competent than one not.

 Aether
The aether (also spelled ether) is a substance concept, historically used in science and philosophy.
In physics and philosophy, aether was once believed to be a substance which filled all of space.
"Ether or aether (aiqhr probably from αιθω, I burn), a material substance of a more subtle kind than visible bodies, supposed to exist in those parts of space which are apparently empty" - so began the article on the "Ether" written by J.C. Maxwell for Encyclopedia Britannica, and O.

Aether redirects to luminiferous aether, and the bit of philosophy has been moved to Aether (classical element).

That concepts in modern physics have a vague resemblance to the ider of aether, is only a byproduct of the very abstract and mathematical nature of modern physics.

 Rule of law
The concept of impartial rule of law is found in the Chinese political philosophy of Legalism (philosophy), but the totalitarian nature of the regime that this produced had a profound effect on Chinese political thought which at least rhetorically emphasized personal moral relations over impersonal legal ones.
Legal equality - All individuals are given the same rights without distinction to their social stature, religion, political opinions, etc. That is, like Charles de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu would have it, law should be like death, which spares no one.
In the Anglo-American legal tradition rule of law has been seen as a guard against despotism and as enforcing limitations on the power of the government.

I think this article is ripe for disambiguation into Legalism (history) and Legalism (theology).

 Wuxia
The wuxia genre is confined and peculiar to Chinese culture, because it is a unique blend of the martial arts philosophy of xia (俠, "chivalry", "a chivalrous man or woman") developed down the centuries, as well as the country's long history in wushu.
Samurai bushido traditions share some aspects with Chinese martial xia philosophy, but there is nothing exactly equivalent to the Chinese concept of xia within even East Asian cultures like Japan and Korea.
Although the xia or "chivalry" concept is often translated as "knights", "chivalrous warriors" or "knight-errants", most xia aspects are so rooted in socio- and cultural milieu of ancient China that it is impossible to find an exact translation in the Western world.

Turn this page into a disambiguation page that follows the basic structure found in most modern philosophy textbooks; this allows for a NPOV presentation, yet simultaneously allows for discussion of all topics that writers are interested in.
It's an alternative to simple disambiguation, which didn't get a lot of support.
The reason I say the diambiguation page belongs here and not in 'Ethics (disambiguation)' or something similar is that I'm not at all sure what we'd then say this page is about!

 Cognitivism Cognitivism & Ethics, Etc.
This was the point which Kant missed in his analysis, and this is the fundamental truth which Cousin thinks he has restored to the integrity of philosophy by the method of the observation of consciousness.
He is absolute substance only in so far as he is absolute cause, of philosophy and his essence lies precisely in his creative power.
The absolute or infinite--the unconditioned ground and source of all reality--is yet apprehended by us as an immediate datum or reality; and it is apprehended in consciousness--under its condition, that, to wit, of distinguishing subject and object, knower and known.
