Abstract

Given the ongoing process of the differentiation of sciences, it is worth posing a question about the possibility of them being integrated. This matter will be explored with reference to anthropic cosmology. The first part of the article will be a description of two basic approaches to anthropic cosmology, i.e. the so-called strong and weak anthropic cosmology (inflation cosmology and quantum cosmology); subsequently, it will be shown as an example of a project of integration in evolutionary sciences. The final part of the article will show that anthropic cosmology (in a broader sense than the previously described weak and strong anthropic cosmology) may in fact constitute a paradigmatic example of an evolutionary science with the widest research scope and a consistent research method, common to all evolutionary sciences. In this sense, anthropic cosmology is a research project that unifies all evolutionary sciences.
