Abstract
Aim. To reveal the content and philosophical foundations of the basic concepts of the Universe.
Methodology. Description of the content main conceptions of the Universe of ancient and medieval cosmology, classical and modern cosmology. Reconstruction of their philosophical foundations.
Results. It is proved that the pluralism of existing and future conceptions of the Universe is inevitable. It is partly due to the progress of scientific knowledge, and partly due to the philosophical ideas of scientists who created these conceptions.
Research implications. It is shown that the creation of fundamental (paradigmatic) concepts of science is possible only as a synthesis of concrete scientific knowledge and philosophical foundations of science.
