Ayn Rand argued that human nature is not intrinsic or essential, but that its essential nature is epistemologically arrived at by the human thinker. It is epistemological in part, but human nature is also how it is due to its nature, its essence, aa metaphysical state or set of attributed and characteristics. I believe we all have souls, and that we are born basically but not entirely evil, and these are intrinsic human properties.
I would argue that reality itself is essential both epistemologically and metaphysically encountered, detected, and comprehended.
