This text explores the relationship between experience (empirics) and the process of cognition. The author begins with the premise that any form of knowledge requires a prior familiarity with the subject; however, this familiarity alone does not constitute genuine knowledge. The discussion highlights the conflict between the tradition of empiricism, which seeks to derive concepts from experience, and Immanuel Kant’s perspective, which argues that true knowledge requires concepts that precede experience and allow for its interpretation. A significant portion of the text is dedicated to distinguishing between external experience, concerning objects in the outside world, and internal or non-objective experience. The author suggests that while experience can encompass complex procedures and goals, it remains a mere orientation tool without conceptual grounding. Ultimately, the reflection raises the question of whether different types of experiences differ fundamentally in their nature or merely in the types of realities they address.
