The purpose of this article is to present the essence and the role of so-called anthropic explanation in modern cosmology. The explanatory value of this explanation depends on the character of relations between the cosmic coincidences and the fact of the existence of life. The strong anthropic principle determines conditions of a philosophical explanation, whose cognitive value depends on both the correctness of this principle and their logical coherence with the cosmic coincidences.
