The Infinite Zero

In The Infinite Zero: Essays on Nothingness, Infinity, Time and the World, Alexis Karpouzos develops a philosophical thought that moves beyond the binary oppositions of Western metaphysics: Being and Non-Being, finite and infinite, subject and object, unity and multiplicity, order and chaos, necessity and chance, life and death.

At the center of the book lies the paradox of the Infinite Zero. Zero is not mere absence, and Infinity is not endless quantity. Their convergence opens toward Dimensionless Ontology and the Abyss of Nothingness: an openness of possibilities from which worlds emerge and transform.

The World is conceived as an Open Whole, a multiplicity of worlds in continuous becoming. Spherical Spacetime, Timeless Time, spiral time and the pan-chronical challenge linear temporality, while Rhythm expresses the invisible movement through which differences and oppositions coexist and transform.

The Diagonal Path, Meta-Ontological Thought, the Metaphysics of Openness and Paradoxical Logic seek to move beyond categorical thought and the search for a final foundation. Open Thought remains faithful to questioning rather than claiming possession of a final truth.

The book also explores Psychoanalysis and the Shadow of Reason, the Kaleidoscopic Invisible, Knowledge and Wisdom, and the Play of the World, where necessity and chance, order and creation coexist.

Finally, Planetary Thought, Universal Consciousness and the meta-humanist condition move beyond anthropocentrism toward a participatory understanding of the Cosmos. Through poiein and prattein, creative imagination, the Poeticity of the Cosmos and Silence, philosophy opens toward what cannot be enclosed within a final system.

The Infinite Zero proposes a movement from foundation toward openness, from representation toward participation, and from binary opposition toward Rhythm.

Zero opens toward Infinity, Infinity returns toward Zero, and between them the World unfolds as an open play of transformations and possibilities.
