"late medieval English jurist Sir John Fortescue, in his work ""In Praise of the Laws of England"" (Chapter VI), takes for granted the notion of ""tabula rasa"", stressing it as the basis of the need for the education of the young in general, and of young princes specifically. ""Therefore, Prince, whilst you are young and your mind is as it were a clean slate, impress on it these things, lest in future it be impressed more pleasurably with images of lesser worth."" (""His igitur, Princeps, dum Adolescens es, et Anima tua velut"" Tabula rasa, ""depinge eam, ne in futurum ipsa"
"Tabula rasa Tabula rasa () refers to the epistemological idea that individuals are born without built-in mental content and that therefore all knowledge comes from experience or perception. Proponents of tabula rasa disagree with the doctrine of innatism which holds that the mind is born already in possession of certain knowledge. Generally, proponents of the ""tabula rasa"" theory also favour the ""nurture"" side of the nature versus nurture debate when it comes to aspects of one's personality, social and emotional behaviour, knowledge and sapience. ""Tabula rasa"" is a Latin phrase often translated as ""blank slate"" in English and originates from"
"the Roman ""tabula"" used for notes, which was blanked by heating the wax and then smoothing it. This roughly equates to the English term ""blank slate"" (or, more literally, ""erased slate"") which refers to the emptiness of a slate prior to it being written on with chalk. Both may be renewed repeatedly, by melting the wax of the tablet or by erasing the chalk on the slate. In Western philosophy, the concept of ""tabula rasa"" can be traced back to the writings of Aristotle who writes in his treatise ""Περί Ψυχῆς"" (""De Anima"" or ""On the Soul"") of the ""unscribed"

The modern idea of the theory, however, is attributed mostly to John Locke's expression of the idea in ""Essay Concerning Human Understanding"" (he uses the term ""white paper"" in Book II, Chap. I, 2). In Locke's philosophy, ""tabula rasa"" was the theory that at birth the (human) mind is a ""blank slate"" without rules for processing data, and that data is added and rules for processing are formed solely by one's sensory experiences. The notion is central to Lockean empiricism; it serves as the starting point for Locke's subsequent explication (in Book II) of simple"

The movement begins with the two solo violins playing a ""ff"" octave ""A,"" followed by an eight beat grand pause (G.P.).

One of the most notable ideas regarding childhood and child development, originally formulated by John Locke in his 1690 work ""An Essay Concerning Human Understanding"", is the notion of ""tabula rasa"", which refers to the mind of a child as a ""blank slate"", having no preconceived ideologies, thoughts or knowledge at birth; thus, children are free to be molded as a part of their cultural surroundings and are a result of their respective situations and environments throughout development. This idea that children receive beliefs and knowledge from external stimuli distinguishes instinctual actions and faculties from understanding that is"

These findings force us to predate the emergence of social behaviour: when the context enables it, as in the case of twin fetuses, other-directed actions are not only possible but predominant over self-directed actions."". In computer science, ""tabula rasa"" refers to the development of autonomous agents with a mechanism to reason and plan toward their goal, but no ""built-in"" knowledge-base of their environment. Thus they truly are a blank slate. In reality autonomous agents possess an initial data-set or knowledge-base, but this cannot be immutable or it would hamper autonomy and heuristic ability."

"doctrines of the Dogmatic school, preferring to rely on the observation of """"phenomena"""". The notion of ""tabula rasa"" (""clean slate"" or ""blank tablet"") connotes a view of mind as an originally blank or empty recorder (Locke used the words ""white paper"") on which experience leaves marks. This denies that humans have innate ideas. The image dates back to Aristotle: What the mind (""nous"") thinks must be in it in the same sense as letters are on a tablet (""grammateion"") which bears no actual writing (""grammenon""); this is just what happens in the case of the mind. (Aristotle, ""On the Soul"","
"ideas and complex ideas. As understood by Locke, ""tabula rasa"" meant that the mind of the individual was born blank, and it also emphasized the freedom of individuals to author their own soul. Individuals are free to define the content of their character—but basic identity as a member of the human species cannot be altered. This presumption of a free, self-authored mind combined with an immutable human nature leads to the Lockean doctrine of ""natural"" rights. Locke's idea of ""tabula rasa"" is frequently compared with Thomas Hobbes's viewpoint of human nature, in which humans are endowed with inherent mental content—particularly"
"I have taken as an illustration a block of veined marble, rather than a wholly uniform block or blank tablets, that is to say what is called tabula rasa in the language of the philosophers. For if the soul were like those blank tablets, truths would be in us in the same way as the figure of Hercules is in a block of marble, when the marble is completely indifferent whether it receives this or some other figure. But if there were veins in the stone which marked out the figure of Hercules rather than other figures, this stone would"
"later may have inspired Daniel Defoe to write ""Robinson Crusoe"", which also featured a desert island narrative and was the first novel in English. The novel also inspired the concept of ""tabula rasa"" developed in ""An Essay Concerning Human Understanding"" (1690) by John Locke, who was a student of Pococke. His ""Essay"" went on to become one of the principal sources of empiricism in modern Western philosophy, and influenced many enlightenment philosophers, such as David Hume and George Berkeley. Hayy's ideas on materialism in the novel also have some similarities to Karl Marx's historical materialism. It also foreshadowed Molyneux's Problem,"

The Latin translation of his philosophical novel, entitled ""Philosophus Autodidactus"", published by Edward Pococke the Younger in 1671, had an influence on John Locke's formulation of ""tabula rasa"" in ""An Essay Concerning Human Understanding"".

"children's literature, therefore, tended to be of a didactic and moralistic nature, with the purpose of conveying conduct-related, educational and religious lessons. During the 17th century, the concept of childhood began to emerge in Europe. Adults saw children as separate beings, innocent and in need of protection and training by the adults around them. The English philosopher John Locke developed his theory of the tabula rasa in his 1690 ""An Essay Concerning Human Understanding"".

The philosophical underpinnings of the Scientific Revolution were laid out by Francis Bacon, who has been called the father of empiricism. His works established and popularised inductive methodologies for scientific inquiry, often called the ""Baconian method"", or simply the scientific method. His demand for a planned procedure of investigating all things natural marked a new turn in the rhetorical and theoretical framework for science, much of which still surrounds conceptions of proper methodology today. Bacon proposed a great reformation"

The eighteenth-century Swiss philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau used ""tabula rasa"" to support his argument that warfare is an advent of society and agriculture, rather than something that occurs from the human state of nature. Since ""tabula rasa"" states that humans are born with a ""blank-slate"", Rousseau uses this to suggest that humans must learn warfare. ""Tabula rasa"" also features in Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis. Freud depicted personality traits as being formed by family dynamics (see Oedipus complex). Freud's theories imply that humans lack free will, but also that genetic influences on human personality are minimal. In Freudian psychoanalysis, one is"

"Cursus (classical) The Latin word 'cursus' can be generally translated into English as 'course'. The word derives from ""currere"", to run. It may be applied, for example, to a course of study or of medical treatment or to a race-course. At its simplest, the Roman race-course took the form of two posts; each called a ""discrimen"" or a ""meta"", round which the runners, whether on foot, on horses or in chariots, raced. The normal arrangement was more formalised as two straights, separated by a ""spina"" but very close to each other and with a very tight turn at each turning"

For instance, with respect to one's ability to acquire both general and special types of knowledge or skills, Howe argued against the existence of innate talent.

"Ablative (Latin) In Latin grammar, the ablative case (in Latin, ""cāsus ablātīvus"") is one of the six cases of nouns. Traditionally, it is the sixth case (Latin: ""cāsus sextus, cāsus latīnus"").

It expresses concepts similar to those of the English prepositions ""from""; ""with"", ""by""; and ""in"", ""at"". It is sometimes called the adverbial case, since phrases in the ablative can be translated as adverbs: ""incrēdibilī celeritāte"", ""with incredible speed"", or ""very quickly"" Some uses of the ablative descend from the Proto-Indo-European ablative case.
