experience

the combination of an intuition with a concept in the form of a judgment. 'Experience' in this 'mediate' sense is a synonym for 'empirical knowledge'. The phrase 'possible experience' refers to a representation which is presented to our sensibility through intuition, but is not yet known, because it has not been presented to our understanding through concepts. 'Experience' in this sense is 'immediate' and contrasts with 'knowledge'.

[B147] Kant asserts that "experience is empirical knowledge" and explains that experience is "knowledge by means of connected perceptions". [B165] Here, after repeating the slogan "experience is empirical knowledge", he characterizes experience as "knowledge which determines an object through perceptions...a synthesis of perceptions".
