The nature of experience as living

The article reveals the existential bases of experience. The research positions of H.-G.Gadamer, E. Husserl, G.W.F. Hegel on the problem of experience are compared. The idea of the paradox of experience, concluded in its simultaneous closure and openness, is indicated. It is shown that through experience man is able to know his limits and openness to the general, universal. An existential version of the interpretation of experience as an experience of living is proposed. It is shown that experience retains its significance without being disproved by new experience, and this determines the essence of any of its forms - scientific or everyday, the general essence of experience. It is shown that the typical in experience closes in it through the integrity of the individual life. The experience is paradoxical, exclusive, and this is its uniqueness and significance. Forming the integrity of individual life, experience, by virtue of its paradox, expressed in the unity of isolation and openness, is open to a new and different in the being of human. The thesis is formulated that experience in its life manifestation is connected with living - the ability of the life manifestation of experience. Living is interpreted as a direct internal grasp of phenomena. The nature of the living is intentional. Living reflects the immediacy in which a person reveals life, the life world. In the article we are talking about experience as a life manifestation, about living experience as being. It is shown that such an explanation of the essence of experience came with the phenomenology of E. Husserl, who gave an ontological interpretation of the phenomena. Also the immanent philosophy, a new interpretation of epistemology as a sphere of ontology (N.A. Berdyaev, N.O. Lossky) were needed. The understanding of ontology given by S.L. Frank, M. Heidegger was necessary. Experience of living combines the being of man and his comprehension. Experience of living gained a value fullness, allowing to identify the most significant for a person, filling it with meaningful vital meaning. And since experience as an experience-living is open (closing the backward, the experience refutes the schemes, dogmas, stereotypes), and is opened by experience itself, Being is opened in experience: experience for the individual is always the way to revelation.
