  At present, there is practically no doubt that general relativity is closely
related to gravity. Moreover, after the work of Jacobson, Padmanabhan and
others, it became clear that a thermodynamic interpretation of Einstein's
relativistic equations is possible. On the other hand, we are witnessing the
conceptual problems of the SCM (the problem of the cosmological constant, the
problem of coincidences) and many years of futile attempts to directly fix the
main components of the model (dark energy and dark matter). The combination of
these two factors gave rise to a natural desire, at least at the
phenomenological level, to build a cosmological model that represents the
synthesis of gravity and thermodynamics and does not include components of an
unknown nature. It is this model\`uentropic cosmology\`uthat is considered in
this review. We have set as our goal, omitting the details that can be found in
the references given, to present the conceptual foundations of the model.
