The present work demonstrates that all cosmological theories obey an epistemological relation: all steps cosmology makes in the direction of acquiring the status of a natural science are inversely proportional to its steps in the direction of allowing infinite values of cosmological features. An attempt to introduce infinity into the Universe description by the Newtonian model, resulted in the photometric and gravitational paradoxes. To eliminate the paradoxes, relativistic cosmology had to introduce once more the infinite characteristics of the Universe. The same difficulty is typical of the inflationary and chaotic scenarios.

In the article philosophical ideas of fundamental physic paradigms are under review. They were put forward by Yu.S. Vladimirov on the grounds of basic physic categories. The specific character of philosophical problems in physics as an allied sphere of knowledge is revealed in the course of development of fundamental physic experience and requires flexibility of epistemological interpretation of modern paradigmal knowledge.

The article provides an analysis of the ethical issues in the modern biomedical technologies with use stem cells for the purpose of development of recommendations for formation of ethically correct legislation, regulating the application and use of the modern regenerative technologies in Russia.

A claim that mathematics would be formalized within the framework of a non-classical logic would be accepted in a twofold manner. It caused by the reason that non-classical mathematics ontology (universe) might be either global or local regarding not only classical but all other non-classical mathematics ontology. The construction of quantos (quantum topos) as categorical global universe allows to extend this claim for the case of quantum mathematics.

This paper shows a range of fundamental limitations inherent to any process realized in a standard theory of deterministic computability that significantly hamper its application to an analysis of philosophical problems concerning time-flow phenomena. Here a method based on a non-standard generalization of a computability concept is proposed that allows an adequate investigation of such philosophical problems. This goal is achieved by means of rejecting determinism in computational processes.

This paper proposes the axiomatic theory of truth with the truth operator. The truth operator is included in language of this theory that permits iteration of such operator.
