The book Empty Space METAFILO (Ruang Kosong METAFILO) contains a series of writings that delve into both classical and contemporary themes in the humanities, particularly within the realm of philosophy. It addresses the social gaps and absurdities of life, often challenging conventional wisdom. As pop culture phenomena surge toward the end of the era, it disregards the riddles of individual essence, raising questions such as: Why were we sent to Earth? Does God feel lonely? Does He seek entertainment through trials?
Rich in philosophical contemplation, the book is guided by renowned philosophers and the author’s exploration of various perspectives to offer a dialectic, striving to avoid a condescending tone. The explored themes are holistic, encouraging readers to transition from the rigidity of tribalism to the agility of global thought. It contrasts the confinement of dogma with the cosmopolitan mindset, eventually entangling itself in what can be termed “futuristic confusion.”
In addition, the book delves into the history of world civilizations, connecting it to the present day to draw lessons from historical events while marveling at the places where religion, literature, philosophy, and science flourished—leading to the Renaissance explosion and the roar of the steam engine that sparked the Industrial Revolution.
Since philosophy is inherently holistic, this book does not just explore Earth and its inhabitants; it also ventures into the vastness of the cosmos. For instance, the research investigates how a wristwatch would function on Neptune or near the Event Horizon of a Black Hole. Moreover, it tackles the overturning of rigid theorems in Classical Newtonian Physics when confronted with the mind-boggling revelations of Quantum Physics. ~
