definition of cosmos

The word cosmos of Greek origin, in its most generic sense supposes a orderly or harmonious system, because precisely in the Greek language its antecedent word means order or ornament, moreover, it turns out to be a reference contrary to chaos.

Currently, the word cosmos is often used as synonymous with universe, consequently with the order that it is considered to have.

And finally when the word is used in an absolute sense, it refers to everything what exists, including what has been discovered and what has not.

Theology is an area in which the word cosmos is frequently used, since through it it refers to the creation of the universe, without counting God in it. Christian theologians commonly use it when referring to worldly life, which is totally opposed to the concept of the afterlife.

Meanwhile, cosmology is the discipline that deals with the study of the cosmos; The aforementioned study is carried out from different points of view, depending on the context in question.

Whatever the cosmology that is used, it will coincide with the rest in the attempt to understand the order that is implicit in the set that represents being.

For example, in the case of physical cosmology, the concept of cosmos is linked to a technical form and it is a space-time continuum within a multiverse (the multiple possible universes, including one's own).

And on the side of Philosophy, the concept of the cosmos together with those of the absolute and the universe are used when it comes to wanting to designate everything that exists, that is, they are synonymous with each other and of the expression what exists.
