Experientialism
Ex*pe`ri*en"tial*ism\, n. (Philos.) The doctrine that experience, either that ourselves or of others, is the test or criterion of general knowledge; -- opposed to intuitionists. Experientialism is in short, a philosophical or logical theory, not a philosophical one. --G. C. Robertson.
