Substantialism

Substantialism – the assumption “reality” is constant and composed of unchanging substances – rather than, for example, dynamic and interacting forces. In the context of educational philosophy, Substantialism is usually associated with the criticisms that it prioritizes objects rather than relations and that it “explains” complex phenomena into cause–effect terms.
