This volume presents differing categorizations and conflicts that occur as people seek to make sense of suffering and their experiences. Cosmologies, whether incorporating the divine or as purely secular, lead us to interpret human action and the human constitution, its ills and its healing and, in particular, ways which determine and limit our very possibilities. 606 $aMedical anthropology 606 $aMedicine$xReligious aspects 606 $aCosmology 610 $aMedical Anthropology, Healing, Diseases, Cosmologies, Medicine, Religion. 615 0$aMedical anthropology. 615 0$aMedicine$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aCosmology. 676 $a306.4/61 702 $aLittlewood$b Roland 702 $aLynch$b Rebecca$c(Research fellow), 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815809903321 996 $aCosmos, gods and madmen$93923859 997 $aUNINA
