Cosmology is the philosophy and science that seeks to understand the structure of the universe. An expansive sphere of thought, cosmology can refer to astronomy and physics, and to mythological, religious, or metaphysical knowledges (see Robinsong). A turn toward eco-cosmology (as described in Pereux & Ricco) considers diverse forms of life in the universe beyond the human, attuned to the interrelations and exchanges between living matter and other entities and things.
