This article reconstructs the way of the concept of the cosmion—literally: a small, representational version of the cosmos—in Schutz, that was proposed by Eric Voegelin as a finite province of meaning after he had read Schutz’s essay On Multiple Realities. Having made this proposal in a letter to Schutz in 1945, Voegelin used the concept in his book The New Science of Politics, from 1952, which is the source to which Schutz refers when he introduces the concept into his own framework, which occurs in Symbol, Reality and Society (1962). Here, politics is listed as a proper finite province of meaning, and here he also refers to politics not only as a multiple reality and a sub-universe but also as cosmion. Political communication, symbolic in character, is conceived as a wide field of concrete investigations open for the social scientist, important not only from the theoretical but also from the practical point of view, including a clarification of the intrinsic structure of symbols, which equals an extensive research program, unfortunately not executed by Schutz, yet sketched as a future task.
