Question

tabula rasa As for knowing what life outside of his little village was like, he was practically a tabula rasa. tabula rasa

Accepted Answer

(1) The mind in its blank or unmarked state before receiving any impressions from outside. (2) Something existing in its original pure state. In ancient Rome, a student in class would write on a wax-covered wooden tablet, or tabula, using a sticklike implement. At the end of the day, the marks could be scraped off, leaving a fresh, unmarked tablet—a tabula rasa—for the next day's lessons. But even before the Romans, the Greek philosopher Aristotle had called the mind at birth an “unmarked tablet.” We still use the term today, but usually not very seriously; with what we know about biology and genetics, most of us don't really think there's nothing in a mind at birth
