In its most general sense, a cosmos is an orderly or harmonious system. It originates from a Greek term κόσμος meaning order, arrangement, ornaments. The word cosmetics originates from the same root. The study of the cosmos (from whatever perspective) is termed "cosmology".

When used as an absolute, the term cosmos is considered to include all that exists, whether it has been discovered or not. Some theologians use the term to denote the created universe, not including God. Many philosophers use the word "absolute", cosmos and universe synonymously to include all that exists. Physicists often use the word universe in a technical way, referring to a space-time continuum; see physical cosmology.

The term is used in phenomenology to describe the view of the world up until the rise of technology in the 20th century. The view of cosmos as "nature as self-sufficient, self-governing body" is in sharp contrast to the view of nature as merely mechanism for the growth of humans. In the cosmos world view, man is a part of nature, whereas in the mechanism world view, man dominates nature, it in turn bends to his will.
