Cosmocentricity, or cosmocentrism, is the worldview of the Astronist religion and is characterised by a distinct all-focus on The Cosmos as the entity towards which all existential purpose, spirituality, and contemplation should be directed.

Cosmocentricity (v. cosmocentralise; pl. cosmocentricites; adv. cosmocentrically), also known as cosmocentrism, or the cosmocentric worldview, is the worldview developed by Cometan that was incorporated into the foundations Astronism and is categorised as one of The Seven Tenets of Association. Essentially, cosmocentricity involves the centralisation of The Cosmos from the Astronic cosmology to all applicable concepts, as well as to one's daily life in action, thought, and feeling.


Cosmocentric ideas are present throughout the entirety of Astronism for the contemplation of The Cosmos is one of the main areas of study and debate for Astronic philosophers and followers of Astronism. The extent of the influence of cosmocentricity is vast as it commands the entire theme of Astronism, which is particularly evident by the multifaricity of the philosophy with the use of appellations such as Astronism, Cosmism, and Kosma, all of which hold a cosmical theme.

Cosmocentricity can perhaps be best understood in comparison to other centricities, the primary one of which is anthropocentricity which centralises humanity in all contexts. Another example is geocentricity which emphasises the role and importance of The Earth in the context of wider existence. Therefore, cosmocentricity is the centralisation of The Cosmos, its progeny, and its phenomena as the entities and concepts of primary importance theologically and philosophically to those whom follow Astronism.

The Millettarian Tradition considers the vast majority of non-Millettarian and pre-Millettarian religious and philosophical traditions to be both anthropocentric and geocentric in their orientations.

The implementation of cosmocentricity in Astronism, however, maintains that everything within The Cosmos is subordinate to it and therefore Astronists must consider The Cosmos primarily while The Earth, the affairs of humanity, and anything less than that which is cosmic is to be considered secondarily.
