Theory & Experience


Theory is used to describe experiences partly. Experiences are knowledge from direct feelings, including eyes, ears and so on, while theory includes this kind of logic description for the feelings. Therefore, the theory cannot totally describe the experiences, and the other part of the theory is to be beyond the sense, as the mankind can use only several kind senses to feel.

Nature never makes things for mean or no use. – John Locke

No man’s knowledge here can go beyond his experience. – John Locke

Custom, then, is the great guide of human life. – David Hume

Reason is the slave of the passions. – David Hume
