The Notebooks of Schubert Ogden
Experience, according to Webster's Dictionary (as quoted by Kenneth S. Davis in his Experience of War) is "actual living through an event or events; actual enjoyment or suffering."
"that residuum of experience which is left when all details variable in imagination have been set aside"
"the most general aspects of experience[, abstracting] from all that is special in our awareness"
"those depths of experience which are our awareness of being so far as necessary"
"ultimate but obscure intuitions"
"the premises implicit in all reasoning" "the constant structure of our experience of reality[, as distinct from its] variable details"
"the common structure of all our experiences"
"the strictlty universal structures of reality which experience discloses"
