I hope that this is accurate, it would be great if someone would expand though. --wiki_capwn 22:19, 18 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

The problem is that if you search the web the two phrases "idios kosmos" and "koinos kosmos" only appear in connection with Dick's use of them. This might make one suspect that he invented them, and my knowledge of Ancient Greek is so limited I cannot even say if they're grammatically correct or not (which might help us understand whether he made them up, or maybe uncorrectly quoted them from some source). --93.40.129.132 (talk) 14:31, 28 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Can the article be renamed ‘koinos cosmos’as idios cosmos has become more connected to schizophrenia and Dick etc.Although Heraclites common view may appear ok,it is also subject to criticism.M K Mani muttappillil (talk) 08:41, 20 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness affecting perception (resulting in hallucinations),thinking (resulting in delusion)and reality distortion.These symptoms produce unusual personal experience causing abnormal behaviour.In this context Dick is applying idios cosmos .Koinos csmos(22B2) is the Heraclitean concept of logos about the world —the objective view available to any thinking person(22B13).Bringing in schizophrenia here,I am afraid,will marginalise the central Heraclitean concept of koinos cosmos.M K Mani muttappillil (talk) 12:56, 21 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
