Abstract

This chapter examines questions that inspire us to look beyond the human scale and humanity as a unity of analysis. On the other hand, the questions of us as humanity are challenged by culturally and politically sensitive analyses, such as inquiries of class, gender, race, and religion. This epilogue of the book ends with a comment on our place in the edifice where nihilism is deemed impossible. Nihilism is a false belief or misled knowing in the impossibility of nothingness. We are stuck with meaning. Only process sustains. In parallel with observation appears the manic thrust to collectively process sustainable change.
