Idea that each individual is born without a personality: Tabula Rasa
Tabula Rasa refers to the epistemological idea that individuals are born without buit-in mental content and hence all knowledge arise from perception along with experience.
Proponents of tabula rasa disagree with the doctrine of innatism which claims that the mind is born already in possession of certain knowledge.
Tabula rasa is a Latin phrase often translated into English as "blank slate."
