A form of this concept is traced back to Wilhelm Dilthey ("DILL-tie") in a chapter attacking its dominance in the "aesthetics of genius." According to Hans-Georg Gadamer, this concept is always negative, and consists in a recognition of human finitude. This concept is the translation of two subtly but crucially different German words, Erfahrung and Erlebnis. The separation of museum art from everyday life is attacked in "The Live Creature," the first chapter of a book titled for this concept. That book's most famous chapter defines this concept as an event, which it likens to a simultaneous production and appreciation of an artwork. In that book, these events are exemplified both by scientific or philosophical investigation and works of art. In its more general form, this Pragmatist concept is simply the (*) knowledge gained from everyday life. For 10 points, name this central concept in John Dewey's philosophy, who wrote books titled for [It] and Nature, Art as [It], and [It] and Education.
