Cosmopoesis: Navigating the Strangeness of Planetary Realizations

Abstract

The fundamental relatedness of all things has been on the radar of shaman and mystics for millennia, but it has only recently emerged as a significant element in academic thought and social action. This paper offers a world historical reading of this relational consciousness as a narrative of becoming that engages with the transmodern dimension mapped by Giri in his poser. It takes the cosmic as a self-generating system from which consciousnesses (worldviews, paradigms) of various kinds emerge to define reality at different moments, offering a range of cosmo-evolutionary “maps” as ways of thinking about and engaging with this phenomenon.
