Abstract
Speaking about experience in the human context, as when we use the phrase “an experienced person,” a clear-cut distinction between what might be considered as cognitive on the one hand, and as evaluative on the other is almost impossible. An experienced person is not a person who has seen places, but a person who encountered other persons in their diverse situations. He knows not only the overt behaviour of the persons and the situations involved, but also, to say the least, he knows what really counts, what is important and to some extent, why people do what they do. He knows what can be expected and what can and should be the outcome of a situation.
