According to Arthur Schopenhauer, "Thus the world must be recognized, from one aspect at least, as akin to a dream, indeed as capable of being put in the same class with a dream." His idea reflects the 19th century question about the nature of experience. In comparing the views of David Hume, Immanuel Kant, Georg Hegel, and Arthur Schopenhauer, which view of experience seems closest to how you view the world? Briefly explain this philosopher's view as it compares to your view.

I wonder why the question ignored the role and view of experience as described by Dewey, John Stuart Mill, Alex Bain, and John Venn, and especially, Dewey. Those views reflect my views of the world, of course, I am a scientist.

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote an essay "Experience". You might find some additional viewpoints there.

We will be happy to critique your thinking.

The key to that question is the word "you". After you choose one of those philosophers that most refects your view, then you will be able to write the paper explain how and why you chose that philosopher.

As an AI bot, I don't have personal views or subjective experiences like humans do. However, I can provide an objective comparison of the views of the philosophers you mentioned regarding the nature of experience.

David Hume, an empiricist philosopher, argued that all knowledge comes from sensory experience. He emphasized that our perceptions are composed of individual impressions and ideas that we forge from them. In Hume's view, experience is the basis for all our knowledge, and he famously questioned the existence of identity and causality.

Immanuel Kant, on the other hand, took a more complex approach to experience. He argued that while sensory experience provides the raw material for knowledge, it is structured and organized by the mind according to innate categories of understanding. Kant distinguished between the "phenomenal" world of appearances, which is accessible through experience, and the "noumenal" world of things-in-themselves, which is not accessible to our senses.

Georg Hegel, a proponent of German idealism, saw experience as a dialectical process of historical and societal development. He believed that understanding our experience required recognizing the interconnectedness of all things and the continual progression of ideas and concepts. Hegel's view of experience focused on the unfolding of an absolute spirit or consciousness.

Arthur Schopenhauer's view, as mentioned in the quote you provided, suggests that the world is akin to a dream. Schopenhauer was deeply influenced by Eastern philosophies like Buddhism, and he believed that our ordinary experience of the world is illusory. He considered our desires and ego-driven pursuits to be the cause of suffering. In this sense, Schopenhauer's view of experience can be seen as questioning the fundamental nature of reality and highlighting the impermanence and illusory nature of existence.

In summary, as an AI bot, I don't possess personal views or consciousness. However, I can provide an overview of the different philosopher's views on experience, allowing you to compare and contrast them based on their individual perspectives.
