neocosmic

From neo- +‎ cosmic.

neocosmic (not comparable)

1. (archaic) Of or relating to the universe in its present state; specifically, relating to the races of human beings known to history.
   • 1894, Sir John William Dawson, The Meeting Place of Geology and History, page 17:

     Let it also be noted that there are other caves in Belgium, to which we shall return later, which show how the neocosmic men contemporary with the present fauna succeeded the men of the mammoth age.

2. Going beyond traditional or realistic representations of reality.
   • 2024, Cristopher Nash, World-Games: The Tradition of Anti-Realist Revolt:

     If one response to the Realist posture—a 'neocosmic' response is to put forward the uncustomary at the level of the story, and thereby perhaps to signal that new constructions of signification are in order, then another response is to institute the uncustomary at the level of discourse broadly speaking, to signal among other things that orderly signification itself is subject to question. If in neocosmic narrative departures from Realist norms are —with extraordinary freedom from inhibition in their choices of rationale internally accounted for by the erection of alternative cosmically ordered fictional systems, there is an equally powerful movement in another direction, in which the possibility of a meaningfully complete integrating system is largely repulsed.

3. Pertaining to a new cosmic order.
   • 2022, Michael Eberhardt-Sturm, Two Testaments, One Story: The Journey to a Panbiblical Theology:

     Thus, biblical history ends with a new creation that merges macro- and neocosmic reenactments of the original creation.
