and this is the crushing twist to the irony

Bonjour,
J'ai trouvé dans un extrait du livre de JM Coetzee "Elisabeth costello",
l'expression suivante :
"and this is the crushing twist to the irony"
Pouvez-vous me dire ce qu'elle signifie ?
Merci
voilà l'extrait :
An ecological philosophy that tells us to live side by side with other creatures justifies itself by appealing to an idea, an idea of a higher order than any living creature. An idea, finally – and this is the crushing twist to the irony – which no creature except Man is capable of comprehending.
