Laudatores Temporis Acti, or Why Cosmology is Alive and Well - A Reply to
Disney
Authors: Milan M. Cirkovic
Comments: 11 pages, no figures; a criticism of astro-ph/0009020; Gen. Rel.
Grav., accepted for publication
A recent criticism of cosmological methodology and achievements by
Disney (2000) is assessed. Some historical and epistemological
fallacies in the said article have been highlighted. It is shown
that---both empirically and epistemologically---modern cosmology
lies on sounder foundations than it is portrayed. A brief
historical account demonstrates that this form of unsatisfaction
with cosmology has had a long tradition, and rather meagre results
in the course of the XX century.
