Chapter 10: This Is One Way (And Where It Might Be Wrong)
The final chapter turns the lens back on the book itself. What has this book claimed? What stack does it stand in? Where is it strong, and where might it be wrong? An honest engagement with pragmatism, phenomenology, contemplative traditions, and Indigenous knowledge systems—and an invitation to apply the book's own tools to its arguments. This is one way, not the only way. Your epistemology is not finished; it is in progress.

This is one way, not the only way. Your epistemology is not finished; it is in progress.
