Dewey's concept of experience is known as a philosophical revolution. Dewey the ontology of experience, experience as his only object of philosophy of pragmatism and the only content. Experience is a vast and complex concept, it is an emotional perception of a set in, is the subject of their own emotional and psychological desire for the will, or the activities of the body itself. Experience and history, life, culture has the same meaning. Experience with the material, natural, organic unity of form In order to transform the experience of Dewey's concept of a major feature. Have depth and experience and not superficial, it can be directed at the most inner nature of things, so In order to overcome the traditional experience both regardless of the timid, but also breaks the traditional CD In order to theory and frivolous. Dewey emphasized that experience and continuity of nature, the natural inclusion of experience with things under his real focus on the effectiveness of the management concept of relativism planted In order to hint. The total organism and the environment a variety of associates, and in the interaction among the. Thus, the subject and object, organism and environment, experience and a natural form In order not to split the total. Dewey's Experience concept of transformation showing against modern philosophy binary, on the up and advocate the integration of organic, internal relations of non-modern temperament, and the object, process, life, history content into the experience of concepts is knowledge and the reality of two-phase separation knowledge regardless of the modern architecture of breakthrough and beyond. Dewey's concept of experience is hailed as the first revolution of philosophy. Dewey ontologized experience, and experience became the only object and content of his pragmatic philosophy. Experience is a very complicated concept; it is a sort of presence in sense perception, the subject's mental emotion and desire to will as well as the acting subject itself. The meaning of experience is the same as history, life and culture. The unity of experience, material, nature and organism constitute an important feature of Dewey's reconstruction of the concept of experience. Experience is profound rather than shallow. It points to the innermost nature of matters, whereby overcoming traditional experientialists 'self-belittling and breaking through traditional materialists' frivolity. Dewey stressed the continuum between experience and nature and incorporated nature and things as parts of experience, which foreshadowed his effect-oriented relativist concept of truth. Organism and environment are connected in all kinds of ways and interact with each other. Therefore, subject and objects, organism and environment, experience and nature constitute an indivisible totality. Opposite to the duality and confrontation of modern philosophy, Dewey's reconstruction of the concept of experience was non-modern in its assimilation, organicity and internal relationships, as the incorporation of the contents of objects, processes, life and history into the concept of experience was breaking through and transcending the framework of modern epistemology which separated knowledge from reality
