EXPERIENCE
Experience, (n.)
The wisdom that enables us to recognize as an undesirable old acquaintance the folly that we have already embraced.
To one who, journeying through night and fog,
Is mired neck-deep in an unwholesome bog,
Experience, like the rising of the dawn,
Reveals the path that he should not have gone.

experience
the combination of an intuition with a concept in the form of a judgment. 'Experience' in this 'mediate' sense is a synonym for 'empirical knowledge'. The phrase 'possible experience' refers to a representation which is presented to our sensibility through intuition, but is not yet known, because it has not been presented to our understanding through concepts. 'Experience' in this sense is 'immediate' and contrasts with 'knowledge'.

EXPERIENCE
[B147] Kant asserts that "experience is empirical knowledge" and explains that experience is "knowledge by means of connected perceptions". [B165] Here, after repeating the slogan "experience is empirical knowledge", he characterizes experience as "knowledge which determines an object through perceptions...a synthesis of perceptions".

Experience
Refers in PARTheory’s phylogenetic perspective and the phylogenetic model to anything that individuals perceive or anything to which they react as living organisms. It includes experiences with the physical world, the social or interpersonal world, and very importantly, with oneself, including one's inner world. Also included in the concept of experience is a person's total history of experiences, probably from the moment of conception but certainly from birth onward. It also includes the kinds of experiences called "learning," including culture learning (See culture)

Experience
Experience as a general concept comprises knowledge of or skill in or observation of some thing or some event gained through involvement in or exposure to that thing or event. The history of the word experience aligns it closely with the concept of experiment.
The concept of experience generally refers to know-how or procedural knowledge, rather than propositional knowledge. Philosophers dub knowledge based on experience "empirical knowledge" or "a posteriori knowledge". The interrogation of experience also has a long tradition in continental philosophy. The German term Erfahrung, which is translated as 'experience' into English has, however, a slightly different implication, given that it is associated with the coherency of life's experiences.
