A theoretical or philosophical term for a human being viewed as stripped down to essential nature, or in biology, a cell or organism without a protective membrane or wall.
From Greek 'gymnos' (naked) and 'plastos' (formed or molded), literally meaning 'naked form' or 'bare structure,' used metaphorically or scientifically.
In philosophy, the gymnoplast represents humans in their most basic, essential state—it's a mental exercise in stripping away all culture and civilization to find what's fundamentally human underneath.
