sub specie mundi, -scientiae, -academiae

There is the well-known sub specie aeternitatis which roughly means "from the perspective of the eternal".
But we actually live in mentalities, cultures, societies,...which think of life more:
sub specie mundi ~from the perspective of the earthly life (eg mundane)
sub specie scientiae ~from the perspective of science
sub specie academiae ~from the perspective of the academy
