Nothing is in the intellect that was not first in the senses.
Quote of the Week 40
“Nothing is in the intellect that was not first in the senses.”
Latin:
“Nihil est in intellectu quod non sit prius in sensu.”
Often attributed to John Locke.
“There is no idea in the mind that cannot be traced back to some particular experience.”
Further refined by Leibniz:
“Nothing is in the intellect that was not first in the senses, except the intellect itself.”
