After a survey of the present state of cosmological theory and observations, this article discusses a series of major themes underlying the relation of philosophy to cosmology. These are: A: The uniqueness of the universe; B: The large scale of the universe in space and time; C: The unbound energies in the early universe; D: Explaining the universe -- the question of origins; E: The universe as the background for existence; F: The explicit philosophical basis; G: The Anthropic question: fine tuning for life; H: The possible existence of multiverses; I: The natures of existence. Each of these themes is explored and related to a series of Theses that set out the major issues confronting cosmology in relation to philosophy.

  1. Constraining the Hubble parameter with the 21 cm brightness temperature signal in a universe with inhomogeneities

    astro-ph.CO 2025-05 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a Buchert-averaged two-domain model, the 21 cm absorption trough is roughly 40 mK deeper for H0=67 than for H0=73, a difference absent in the paper's ΛCDM comparison.

  2. The angular scale of homogeneity in the Local Universe with the SDSS blue galaxies

    astro-ph.CO 2019-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    SDSS blue galaxies yield an angular homogeneity scale of 22.19° ± 1.02° that matches ALFALFA HI sources and ΛCDM expectations at z < 0.06.
