tabula rasa
with borjana ventzislavova and miroslav nicic

The original tabula rasa is a theory that the (human) mind is at birth a “blank slate” without data or rules for processing it, and that data is added and rules for processing it formed solely by our sensory experiences. Tabula rasa was first advocated by John Locke, and is central to empiricism. It is also featured in Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis. As understood by Locke, tabula rasa meant that the mind of the individual was born “blank”, and it also emphasized the individual’s freedom to author his own soul. Each individual was free to define the content of his character - but his basic identity as a member of the human species cannot be so altered.
