The main features of the cosmological picture of the world: PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCES JF - Filosofska Dumka JA - Fildumka VL - 0 IS - 2 SE - ARTICLES DO - 10.15407/fd2020.02.086 UR - https://dumka.philosophy.ua/index.php/fd/article/view/412 SP - 86-101 AB - <p><em>Physical cosmology is one of the disciplines at the forefront of modern science. Using existing physical theories and creating own ones, it describes the dynamics and evolution of the Universe, transforms and modernizes the scientific picture of the world on the largest possible scale. The article analyzes the main presuppositions and outcomes of nowadays cosmology, which are based on fundamental physical principles (theories) and astronomical observations. It has been revealed that throughout its existence as a science (about 100 years), cosmology stimulated the emergence of a plenty of worldview-philosophical problems. Therefore, we need a comprehensive update of the philosophy of cosmology, which can help to realize such problems. Given the need for cooperation between cosmology and the philosophy of science, we propose to use various methodological, ontological, epistemological and other philosophical techniques to solve philosophical problems arising in cosmological research, as well as to generalize the existing knowledge about the Universe. </em></p> ER -
