>'Cosmologies depict the large-scale structure, origin, and evolution of the concrete world.' - Freya Matthews Cosmologies can include material objects, forces, fields, minds, spirits, and deities that constitute our world. They tell the members of the community who they are and where they stand in relation to the rest of creation. > 'This is the point where epistemology, cosmology, and psychology intersect. The picture of the cosmos we carry in our minds can dictate a range of existential conditions. We may live in a bleak, defensive despair or we may find ourselves gracefully at home in the world. In addition to what we know, there is how we know, the spirit in which we address the world.' - Theodore Roszak ## Sources: - [[Matthews, Freya (2021) The Ecological Self]] - [[Cosmo-Conativity]] - [[Cosmological Ruptures]] - [[Cosmologies Influences.canvas|Cosmologies Influences]] - [[Roszak, Theodore (1992) The Voice of the Earth]]
