Open peer commentary on the article “Constructivism and Mystical Experience” by Hugh Gash. Abstract: I explore some of the respective affinities and tensions between constructivism and mysticism. Through particular reference to Derrida’s philosophy of deconstruction, I focus on selected themes raised by Gash’s critique through an alternative lens of interpretation.

Open peer commentary on the article “Constructivism, Fast Thinking, Heuristics and Sustainable Development” by Hugh Gash. Abstract: I apply some of Gash’s interpretation of radical constructivism to an analogous critique of naïve realism in contemporary philosophy of education. It explores the significant potential in heuristics for breaking with hegemonic thinking on ethics and politics.
