Abstract

This paper explores the intersection between mystical experience and constructivism, offering a philosophical inquiry into how cultural, social, and phenomenological dimensions shape human perceptions of the transcendent. Drawing on insights from sociology, phenomenological studies, and the philosophy of human scale, this research investigates the subjective nature of mystical encounters and the constructive processes through which individuals and societies interpret these profound experiences. By examining how culture and social context influence both the occurrence and understanding of mystical phenomena, this inquiry highlights the importance of viewing mystical experience not as isolated or universal, but as dynamically co-created through the interplay of consciousness, culture, and shared human meaning. The findings suggest that constructivism provides a valuable framework for understanding the fluid and context-dependent nature of mystical experiences. This paper explores the intersection of mystical experience and constructivism, offering a philosophical inquiry into how cultural and social contexts shape human encounters with the transcendent. By drawing on phenomenological studies and sociological perspectives, the research investigates how individuals and communities construct meaning around mystical experiences, revealing that these profound moments are not universal or isolated but deeply influenced by cultural narratives, rituals, and collective identities. The study emphasizes the importance of human scale in understanding the dynamic and evolving nature of spiritual phenomena, ultimately arguing that constructivism provides a valuable framework for uncovering the social and cultural dimensions of mystical experience.
