Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis gagasan Merdeka Belajar secara filosofis, tidak hanya berfokus pada mengatasi persoalan-persoalan secara teknis dalam implementasi kebijakan tersebut. Hal ini perlu dilakukan supaya tidak melulu terjebak dalam tafsiran keuntungan instrumental dari pendidikan, tetapi juga untuk mewujudkan cita-cita bersama dalam Pembukaan UUD 1945 dalam masyarakat demokratis. Metode penelitian dilakukan dengan metode refleksi kritis dan fenomenologi. Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan, tafsiran baru atas Merdeka Belajar bisa dilakukan dengan memperluas gagasan itu sebagai upaya pembentukan individu agar mampu merefleksikan kehidupannya sendiri dan menjadi warga negara yang mampu menjalankan fungsi-fungsinya di tengah keberagaman dalam masyarakat demokratis. Oleh karena itu, Merdeka Belajar perlu dilengkapi dengan konsep pendidikan demokratis yang berhubungan dengan reproduksi sosial secara sadar seperti yang dikemukakan oleh Amy Gutmann, di mana di dalamnya terkandung pembagian otoritas dan dua prinsip pembatasan, yaitu prinsip non-represi dan prinsip non-diskriminasi dalam pendidikan.

"Studying philosophy means unraveling reality in all its aspects. By contextualizing today's reality in its social, political, ecological, spiritual and also aesthetic context, the chapters in this edited volume present research findings complementing or even challenging ongoing scholarly discussions in philosophy and humanity. The chapters are divided into five sections based on the issues being discussed: (1) Law and Politics, (2) Economy, (3) Humanity and Wellbeing, (4) Rethinking Spirituality, and (5) Arts. Besides the obvious urgency to problematize these issues due to the dynamics of paradigm and theories in the field of philosophy, there will always be a need to constantly create new conversations. The wide variety of aspects of humanity that are being analyzed in the chapters are done by non-Westerns scholars, in this case Indonesian scholars, and this provides alternative ways of interpreting philosophical concepts in relation to everyday realities. The issues being discussed might seem universal as depicted in the choices of texts, which come from different countries. However, the specificity of each context contributes to a more complex discussion of various philosophical aspects. The readings and interpretations of the philosophical theories build a non-Western scholarship which is definitely needed to enrich the process of knowledge production in the humanities and social sciences. The multiplicity of the texts chosen as case studies in each chapter is the primary specialty of this edited volume since there are not a lot of projects that cover multiple issues coming from different locales in one book with an interdisciplinary approach"--
