This chapter wraps up the book by summarizing its main conclusions. It also suggests that possible next steps include not only adding the theory of liveliness to the list of long-standing Anglo-American moral theories, but to include it in even larger comparative evaluations. This means that liveliness should be considered as a moral theory alongside moral theories from other regions of the global south such as Latin America, in addition to those found in Eastern thought. Given the extremely small probability of any single philosopher mastering a truly global philosophical canon, this project must become a group effort. Philosophy as conducted in the Western world has recently taken its first steps towards becoming a truly global discipline. While this is commendable, much work remains to be done
