Hegel rejects the tabula rasa reading of Aristotle’s tablet analogy

Evidence

Hegel resists the common misinterpretation of this comparison: the conceptualization of spirit as a ‘tabula rasa on which characters are first traced by external objects’. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 459

Categorization

  • QUESTION: Worth chasing: how does this rejection of the passive-receiving mind anticipate and differ from empiricist tabula rasa theories from Locke onward?
