    Tabula Rasa: Refers to an absense of ideas a "blank slate". For example this theory is applied by some thinkers when they state that a childs mind is empty and as he grows he adquires iodeologies via perception/experience.

    Cogito ergo sun:Rene descarted conied the term . "I think therefore I am". his poinf of view was that only if you are able to "think process reallity then you can exist.

    Telos: the ultimate goal ...the ultimate aim... could be applied as the end of everything what we exist for?...

    aperion: undefinite, unlimited , infinite...

    prejuicio: Spanish for prejuidice... having a pre-judgments about something

    logos- from wikipedia: "a ground", "a plea", "an opinion", "an expectation", "word," "speech," "account,"

    genesis: the start...that is why the first chapter of the bible is called genesis

    ousi: the intrinsic nature of something... and essence

    cartesian: from the train of thought of rene descartes
