Abstract

At the end of the Anthropocene the world will be gone. Or at least it will be gone from a human habitation point of view. What does this mean? Clearly ‘the world' will no longer exist- because there will be no one on it to know about its existence. This brings up a very important question that needs to be faced: If the world's existence depends on human knowledge of it, is the bifurcation that most Western modern capitalo-science rests on- between the ‘human' and ‘nature'- correct? This chapter explores some of the implications of this question for doing post-critical educational research.
