Cosmology: Philosophical Aspects
Scientific paper
Because of the uniqueness of the Universe, philosophical issues arise at all times in the study of cosmology. As one considers the earliest times and issues of origins (and what happened 'before the beginning'), theory is diverging into producing a multiplicity of options to choose from, rather than converging to one overwhelming powerful position at the present time. It is going to become ever more important to pay serious attention to the philosophical argumentation underlying the different choices. This paper gives a framework for analysis of such questions, based on fifteen theses which can be strongly defended.
