Everything about Peripatetic Axiom totally explained

The Peripatetic axiom is: "Nothing is in the intellect that wasn't first in the senses." (Latin: "Nihil est in intellectu quod non prius in sensu")
   It is found in: De veritate, q. 2 a. 3 arg. 19 (http://www.corpusthomisticum.org/qdv02.html) Thomas Aquinas adopted this principle from the Peripatetic school of Greek philosophy, established by Aristotle. Aquinas argued that the existence of God could be proved by reasoning from sense data. He used a variation on the Aristotelian notion of the "active intellect" which he interpreted as the ability to abstract universal meanings from particular empirical data. Further Information
