Epilogue

We have been on a heady tour through the literatures of more-than-humanism. We have moved far from the humanist world of rational minds floating in bodies that are bounded from their environments. We have encountered animals with agency, technologies that shape society, and geological forces with the power to reconfigure civilisations. We have learnt to place science in its social context, tracing the materials and embodied practices through which knowledge is made. We are better equipped to recognise multiple forms of environmental expertise. In developing this multinatural model of the world and how it might be known, we have disturbed the modern settlement between Science and Politics, shattering a one-world world, to present a political pluriverse of contested environmental futures. By way of conclusion, we would like to circle back to the key terms we asked you to reflect on in the opening prologue
