Abstract
Open peer commentary on the article “Constructivism and Mystical Experience” by Hugh Gash. Abstract: Returning to Wittgenstein’s work, I trace the epistemological constraints applying to both the scientific and the mystical approaches. I make three suggestions as to how we might move forward in a different manner of speaking to change our minds about the apparent gaps between the rational and the mystical.
