Tabula Rasa or Blank Slate Tabula rasa is a
Latin word that
originates from
the
Roman tabula or
wax tablet used
for notes, which
was blanked by
heating the wax
and then
smoothing it.
The mind in it’s
hypothetical
primary empty
state before
receiving outside
impressions .
“There is nothing in
mind except was first in
the senses.”

The senses convey to the
mind whatever it requires
to produce perceptions of
sensible qualities.
Understanding conveys
the sense perception to
our sensation. Sensation
is great part source of our
ideas.
The sensation is
dependent on what the
senses perceive and as
derived from
understanding.
Perception, thinking,
doubting, believing,
reasoning, knowing and
willing follow upon
sensation. When the
ideas perceived by the
senses bounce back to
the mind that perceives
this is the activity of
reflection.
