…If
not in this life, then in some previous birth: ‘Without a fund of already existing
experience, any new experience would be impossible, for there would be nothing
to which to refer the new impression…Knowledge can only be got in one way, the
way of experience; there is no other way to know. If we have not experienced it
in this life, we must have experienced it in other lives…What we call instinct
in men or animals must…be involved, degenerated, voluntary actions, and
voluntary actions are impossible without experience. (2.220-1)
