African cosmology  

Définition

  • A cosmology is a body or system of thought arising out of a people's history and culture that addresses issues of reality and creation, truth and value, meaning, process, and that people's place within creation. It can be differentiated from the more general term, cosmogony, which is a people's mythohistorical description of the creation of the universe or, put more simply, their creation story.
