Cosmology between Science and Philosophy

Abstract

By an attentive methodological, epistemological and meta-scientific reading of scientific cosmology, we grasp to what extent our concept of the universe is philosophical and to what extent our deeper intellectual understanding of it derives essentially from recognizing that it is at the same time both a scientific and philosophical problem. Moreover, the fact that the universe is now a field of inquiry of modern science necessarily constrains science to rediscover that exchange it had with philosophy at the beginning of its adventure.
