dc.description.abstractHovhannes Blouz of Erzinka (1230-1293), as a linguist, poet, philosopher, educator, cosmologist, physicist, public servant and ecclesiastic, is one of the most famous Armenian thinkers of the 13th century. As a philosopher, Hovhannes Blouz believes that God has created the universe out of four elements - earth, wind, water, and fire. He also believes that nature spells universal efficacy. Nature has its laws which govern all beings. He believes that there is a universal soul found in man, animal, plant, heavenly bodies, and that everything is subservient to this soul. He believes that all creation is endowed with a common activity. He considers matter as the essence of all beings and as including the spirit and the intellect. There is one characteristic common to all beings, namely, that all have a beginning and an end; the end is the decomposition of parts. Hovhannes Blouz admits that matter has its kinds, and that it is not matter per se but its manifest kind that dies. He believes that knowledge may be acquired through the senses, the mind, and demonstrative reasoning. He asserts that children's knowledge is acquired, and that a child's mind is like a mirror which reflects the pictures it receives from the outside world, or like soft tallow that is capable of acquiring the desired form. This particular theory anticipates John Locke's tabula rasa by centuries. Hovhannes Blouz also professes that justice will be established when the will of the spirit does not enthral the body, nor the will of the body the spirit.
