Are books more important than experience?
The brain is a large center for the storage of knowledge. Our brain`s
capability of responding to the external world is based on our
knowledge. We acquire this knowledge from books or through
experience. Although these are not the only ones, they are the
fundamental sources of knowledge. To gain knowledge from a
book, one has to read the book, comprehend it, and memorize it,
while in experience; everything is connected to practice and
memory. But generally they both are ways of acquiring knowledge
and also, they both can be used effectively depending on the user`s
capability of understanding.
Based on this I support that gaining knowledge from books is better.
Books are the works of writers. They are written with full
compliance with established laws. When writers write, they would
not include matters that are irregular and which sometimes deviate
from the laws until an explanation with detailed proof is given. But
in experience, one can get quite acquainted with abnormal matters
with abnormal matters, which would likely be excluded from books.
In experience proof is almost irrelevant. A person who observes
something to be true many times, he would conclude that it is true
without proof.
The difference between knowledge gained from experience and
knowledge gained from books can be clearly shown by looking at
their time consumption. Authors have specific knowledge of the
subject matter. Therefore the content of these books has been
refined and is highly accurate. As a result, acquiring knowledge
from books requires relatively small time. But in experience,
knowledge is gained through trial and error. This is highly time
consuming since a person has to start all over again when he/she
finds his/her knowledge to be inaccurate.
In my opinion books are more important sources of knowledge

than experience because they are less likely to be inaccurate
(because they are proven) and require less time.
Books avoid that risk that would be taken to gain knowledge from
trial and error (experience). Although confined to basic laws, for


those who comprehend well, books could give clues to those
matters that are undefined.
