Abstract
Open peer commentary on the article “Constructivism and Mystical Experience” by Hugh Gash. Abstract: Gash leverages earlier discussions about the relationship between mysticism and its world, to argue that it is useful in thinking about the unexpected. I argue for a more nuanced understanding of surprise, which leads to asking about the place of questions and of events in cognition.
