What does it really mean to have an “experience”?

The term ‘user experience’ has become one of the most commonly used terms amongst professionals, when it comes to the development of apps, websites or digital products.
The author of this article researches different perspectives and philosophies about what defines exactly what is meant by the term “experience”.
Several different definitions are provided in the article, each of which frames user experience in a different way.
The first definition of user experience presented in the article was provided by Norman and Nielsen in 1998.
The central word in this definition was “interaction” between the user and the system.
Another definition of user experience considers experiencing life as a constant process of dialogue between the individual and the world.
Experience is never passive; the user is never an individual passively receiving information from the designer of that product: they act upon the world.
The interaction between the designed product and the user’s body is explained by Merleau-Ponty, who sees experience as something not just mental or cognitive, but embodied.
The author also provides a definition of UX in a postmodernism perspective, which views experience as a collection of barred micro-events, each with its own meanings.
Philosophizing about UX is important to be clear about what is meant as experience, as this can impact test metrics, interface, and strategic business decisions.
