Editing Tabula Rasa

'Tabula Rasa' stands for 'empty slate', it is an important concept in empiricism pioneered by John Locke, which refers to the view that a mind is essentially an empty state which does not have any content which defines the quality of a man or his mental makeup. It is through the process of sense and experience one is able to discern the truth or truths or atleast arrive at the understanding of the matter, entirely new to him, in an objective way.

Haz has often taken the example of 'tabula rasa' in order to arrive at an understanding about situations concerning politics. One has to always begin 'tabula rasa' i.e. begin from the perspective of someone not infected with the intentionality of an ideology, understand people's feelings uninhibited or unaffected by some ideology which gaslights us about how we really feel about things. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/live/wiZEMHxOz58?si=oze202OvKR1JmKxp&t=12588</ref>

Thinkers like Aleksandr Dugin use 'tabula rasa' as a concept to describe the liberal view in international relations and politics that how the liberals believe that people can be changed through re-education and enlightenment, Dugin further forms his argument of liberalism as being 'idealistic' which has its roots in the concept of 'tabula rasa'. <ref>https://www.geopolitika.ru/en/article/realism-international-relations#:~:text=Liberalism%20in%20International,stem%20from%20liberalism</ref>
