There Is a great deal of difference between an innate

2. In bot. : (a) Borne on the apex of the support- 
ing part: as, an innate anther, which is one that 
directly continues and corresponds to the apex 
of the filament. (6) Born within ; originating 
within the matrix, or within the substance of the 
plant Innate Idea, an idea which arises not from sen- 
suous experience, but from the constitution of the mind ; 
an Idea which the mind possesses Independently of sense- 
experience, though it may not be conscious of it except on 
the occasion of such experience. The question of the exis- 
tence of such Ideas is a much-disputed point in philosophy. 
Their existence is denied especially by the followers of 
Locke, who affirm that sense-experience is the source of all 
Ideas; that without the senses the mind is an unwritten tab- 
let tabula rota. None of their opponents, however, not 
even the Platonists, who have attributed some of our Ideas 
to a reminiscence of a previous state of existence, have 
maintained that there are ideas Innate In the sense that 
they are actually In the consciousness at birth, and do not 
require any occasion to call them forth. Nor has any one, 
on the other hand, carried the doctrine of the tabula rasa 
to such an extreme as to deny that the character of the feel- 
Ings excited In us by given excitations depends to some ex- 
tent upon the nature of the mind. Accordingly, there are 
strictly only differences of degree between the opinions of 
philosophers in regard to this matter. Modern scientific 
p*)vholoir!sts carry the belief in innate ideas further than 
did any of its older metaphysical advocates; but their atti- 
tude toward the question Is a radically different one, being 
based not upon metaphysical presuppositions and natural 
judgments, but upon the principles and methods of mod- 
em science. =Syn. 1. Inborn, Inbred, etc. See inherent.
