What is John Dewey's philosophy of experience?

Answered in John Dewey's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

My philosophy of experience posits that experience is not a passive reception of stimuli, but an active, dynamic process of interaction between an organism and its environment. This interaction shapes our understanding and knowledge. True learning, therefore, arises from intelligent inquiry into these experiences, where we reflect on what happens, identify problems, and experiment with solutions. Experience is the constant source of growth and the foundation upon which all knowledge is built and refined.
