in epoca di carta e stampa
In epoca di carta e stampa Locke aggiunge una precisazione: l'anima è come un foglio bianco, privo di caratteri di stampa, cioè, spiega, senza alcuna idea.
It's a speech on the philosophical idea that the soul is like a tabula rasa.

James (Jim) Davis
: The era of pen and ink predates that of printing by centuries or more. Plato lived in an era of pen and ink, but not printing, while Locke's work got printed. Printing changed the way the world thought very rapidly. But point taken.

True! But not necessarily relevant in such a philosophical discourse (that's for the asker to decide, naturally) - mine is obviously more a liberal interpretation than a literal translation.//Your point taken too - perhaps it is indeed relevant.
