经验概念是杜威教育哲学的核心，是杜威教育哲学的切入点、起始点、逻辑起点与理论前提，杜威从重构经验出发，完成了针对传统形而上学以及传统哲学二元对立观念的解构。透彻并且深入地探讨杜威的经验概念，就如同把握了杜威教育哲学的核心，这对于了解杜威的哲学脉络，理解其哲学体系是非常重要的。针对传统二元对立观念及形而上学，杜威通过发掘经验的连续性原理和相互作用原理，重新审视并厘清了“何为经验”这一学术界长期以来的焦点理论问题。同时，在教育实践上，杜威运用新经验理论让教育哲学回到生活领域，为生活服务，也为解除现代社会的现代性隐忧做出了有益的尝试。

The core of Dewey’s philosophy of education is the concept of experience, it is also the starting point, theoretical premise and foundation of Dewey’s philosophy of education. Through the reconstruction of experience, Dewey has completed the deconstruction of traditional metaphysics and traditional philosophical dualism. Studying the concept of Dewey's concept of experience thoroughly and in depth is an important path to understand the construction of Dewey’s philosophy as it has grasped the core of it. In view of the traditional dualism and metaphysics, Dewey has reexamined and clarified the long-term theoretical problem of "what is the experience" by studying the continuity principle and the interaction principle of experience. At the same time, in the practice of education, Dewey has used the new empirical theory to return the philosophy of education, not only to the field of life, to serve the life in the same time, but also to the modern society to make a useful attempt.
