CHIRA, Vasile. Metaphysics of cosmological models. Herv. teol. stud. [online]. 2023, vol.79, n.1, pp.1-8. ISSN 2072-8050.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/hts.v79i1.7796.

This article aims to address the metaphysical dimension of cosmological models, be they mythological, philosophical, religious or modern scientific models, using multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary methodology. Such an approach is a novelty, both in the theological field and in the philosophical field and secular sciences, which studies the origin of humans and the universe. CONTRIBUTION: The originality of this article consists in introducing the concept of transcendental cosmology, which, along with spiritual cosmology, can be a serious theological and philosophical reply to the Bing Bang theory.

Keywords : metaphysics; cosmological models; transcendental cosmology; Bing Bang theory; transdisciplinary methodology; patristic cosmology.
