Teaching
He devoted himself to studying the works of René Descartes and Thomas Aquinas . He dealt with the issues of truth and certainty, in which he saw the cause of some philosophical errors, but at the same time also the source of modern subjectivism , which endangered the further healthy development of philosophical progress. In his other works he opposes noetic idealism and sensism and calls for moderate realism.
