The book’s conclusion summarizes the analysis and argument of the book by running through a series of key terms. It also clarifies several points and possible sources of confusion, including the conception of a paradigm used in this book and the possible overlap, hybridity, and balance of paradigms; the question of whether the dark side of the Anthropocene is the product of bad engineering; and the relation of this book to a conventional politics of inequality. The book concludes with a discussion of education. The argument is that modern education is an introduction to enframing, and the conclusion offers some preliminary thoughts on how education could be rejigged to bring poiesis to the fore.
