Cosmologies refer to local theories on the origin, composition and dynamics of the universe (cosmos), on its spatial and temporal properties, on the powers and beings, human and non-human, which constitute it. This knowledge in movement is inscribed in a historicity, and its study keeps all its relevance for the understanding of contemporary worlds.
