What is experience?

Experience refers to the nature of the events someone or something has undergone. Experience is what is happening to us all the time - as we long we exist.

Experience, used in the present tense, refers to the subjective nature of one's current existence. Humans have a myriad of expressions, behaviors, language, emotions, etc. that characterize and convey our moment-to-moment experiences.

Experience, used in the past tense, refers to the accumulated product (or residue) of past experiences e.g., after many hours of training and practice building furniture out of wood, we now consider him to be an experienced wood craftsman.

These two emphases of the word experience (present and past) emerge from a critical connection and philosophical issue:

To what extent do one's past experiences influence one's current and future experience?

The idea that past experiences influence future experiences was termed continuity by John Dewey. All experiences, argued Dewey, impact on one's future, for better or worse. Basically, cumulative experience either shuts one down or opens up one's access to possible future experiences.
