Thus it comes also to be a matter of mere common sense to perceive that confusion, ambiguity, uncertainty, and indeterminateness have their exclusive locus in man, and that nature is without any such irregularities, for nature is an orderly, fixed, rational system. In other words, it becomes natural for us to think that things actually are not what they are experienced to be. Experience is good enough for managing everyday affairs, but if we desire to get a description of things as they really are, we must resort to something other than the common things of ordinary experience. At this point the experimentalist enters his objection. He asserts unqualifiedly that experience is all that we have or can ever hope to have.
Experience sets our problems and it tests our solutions.
Hence, if human experience cannot give us an adequate account of realities, then man has no possibility of gaining such an account. John Childs as quoted in Morris, pp. Experience is not restricted to sense experience. It includes all that men do, think, and feel. It includes quiet reflection as well as active doing, feeling as well as knowing, speculating as well as seeing and touching.
