Philosophical Foundations of Cosmology

The philosophical foundations of cosmology explore deep questions about the universe, such as its origin, structure, and ultimate fate. It examines concepts like space, time, and causality, probing the assumptions behind scientific theories. Philosophers ask whether the universe has a purpose or if it is purely a product of chance. They also investigate the implications of modern physics, particularly theories like the Big Bang and black holes, on our understanding of existence and reality. This discipline bridges science and philosophy, encouraging a thoughtful consideration of what our universe reveals about the nature of knowledge and existence.
