Rationalism is a school of thought in Western philosophy that asserts the role of reason as the primary source of knowledge. Central to rationalism is the notion of *innate ideas*, which are ideas that are present in the mind from birth, independent of experience. These ideas, according to rationalists, form the foundation of all human knowledge, and our ability to reason allows us to discover truths that are not derived from sensory experience.
The concept of innate ideas is most famously associated with René Descartes, who argued that certain fundamental concepts, such as the idea of a perfect being or God, and basic truths about mathematics and logic, are innate in the human mind.
