The social anthropology of sickness and health has always been
concerned with religious cosmologies: how societies make sense of
such issues as prediction and control of misfortune and fate; the
malevolence of others; the benevolence (or otherwise) of the
mystical world; local understanding and explanations of the natural
and ultra-human worlds. 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.
