Reply to Today I learned Tabula rasa (blank slate) is the theory that individuals are born without built-in mental content and therefore all knowledge comes from experience or perception, which is in direct contrast to Innatism which is the idea that the mind is born with ideas, knowledge, and beliefs. by St3v3nMS3
