Abstract
Sebelum Filsafat is a brilliantly written philosophical work by Indonesian academic Dr. Fahruddin Faiz. Originally published in Indonesia in 2013 under the title Falsafah Terdahulu, it was later translated into Malay and released in 2024 by Cendekia & MJS Press. In the author's home country, the book has gone through eight reprints—a testament to its popularity and the positive reception of both the work and its author. In all my philosophy classes, this book has consistently been recommended alongside other essential texts in English. Dr. Fahruddin Faiz, is a scholar who hails from Mojokerto, East Java (Jawa Timur), Indonesia. He did his undergraduate in the Department of Aqidah and Philosophy at UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta in 1998, his master's degree in the Department of Religion and Philosophy at the same university in 2001, and his doctoral degree in the Department of Islamic Studies at UIN Sunan Kalijaga in 2014. Currently, he serves as a lecturer and vice dean at the Faculty of Ushuluddin and Islamic Thought at UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta. In addition, he is actively involved as a writer and speaker in various religious and intellectual forums across Indonesia. Ever since 2013, Dr. Fahruddin has been conducting classes on philosophy at Masjid Jendral Sudirman, Yogyakarta. Unlike most works on philosophy, the language used in this book is made accessible for undergraduate students and others with an interest in the subject. The author communicates his philosophical ideas in a more discursive style. The book contains less jargon than is typically found in works by other authors. This simplified approach makes the book more appealing, even to those who might not usually be interested in philosophy. To date, Dr. Fahruddin Faiz has authored more than fourteen books, primarily exploring themes of philosophy, spirituality, and everyday human life.
