        Abstract
        cosmos - cosmology - culture - myths
         
        Die Gestirne, insbesondere Sonne und Mond, diktieren den Takt unserer Existenz. Schon seit Jahrtausenden versuchen die Menschen deshalb, sie zu erklären und zu deuten. Was genau ist der Kosmos, die «Ordnung des Firmaments»? Auf der Suche nach Antworten sind die verschiedenen Kulturen seit jeher von ganz unterschiedlichen Voraussetzungen ausgegangen. Dieses kulturvergleichende Buch erläutert 17 verschiedene Weltentwürfe. Es stellt Kosmologien und Schöpfungsgeschichten aus Afrika, Nord- und Mittelamerika, Asien und Polynesien sowie aus dem frühgeschichtlichen Mesopotamien und Ägypten umfassend dar. Thematisiert werden zudem die abendländischen Weltentwürfe von der biblischen Genesis und den Germanen bis hin zur neuzeitlichen Forschungsgeschichte Europas.
