Cosmology has undoubtedly become an epistemically successful science. Some of its successes include explaining the Cosmic Microwave Background and its features (temperature\, anisotropies\, polarization\, etc.) with high precision\; accounting for the abundances of the light chemical elements in the universe with high accuracy\; discovering the isotropic accelerated expansion of the universe\; establishing a model that synthesizes the results of various observational research projects (SNIFS\, BOSS\, COBE\, etc.) into a relativistic model of an overall flat geometry with predictive power\, and much more.
\nOn the one hand\, its success makes cosmology a reliable ground on which to test philosophical theses and frameworks motivated by research in other areas of science (Doboszewski &\; Elder\, 2026\; Elder\, 2025). On the other hand\, despite its success\, there remain several philosophical concerns regarding the standard model of cosmology and inflation (Jacquart\, 2021\; Smeenk\, 2014)\, the conceptual character and metaphysics of the phenomena it aims to account for (Martens &\; Lehmkuhl\, 2020\; Josset\, Pé\;rez &\; Sudarsky\, 2017)\, the integration of relativistic and quantum theories into a coherent whole (Sudarsky\, Urrutia &\; Vucetich\, 2002\; Okó\;n &\; Sudarsky\, 2014)\, the epistemological significance of computational methods (Gueguen\, 2020\; Meskhidze\, 2023)\, and the challenges involved in developing a science of the universe itself (Ellis\, 2001\; Smeenk\, 2017). \;
\nOur aim is to provide space for these discussions. \;
