during the middle ages aristotle's theory of "tabula rasa" was developed by islamic philosophers starting with al farabi, developing into an elaborate theory by avicenna and demonstrated as a thought experiment by ibn tufail. for avicenna (ibn sina), for example, the "tabula rasa" is a pure potentiality that is actualized through education, and knowledge is attained through "empirical familiarity with objects in this world from which one abstracts universal concepts" developed through a "syllogistic method of reasoning in which observations lead to propositional statements which when compounded lead to further abstract concepts". the intellect itself develops from a material intellect ("al-'aql al-hayulani"), which is a potentiality "that can acquire knowledge to the active intellect ("al-'aql al-fa'il"), the state of the human intellect in conjunction with the perfect source of knowledge". so the immaterial "active intellect", separate from any individual person, is still essential for understanding to occur.
