He dealt with the theses of Hegel (The transcendental meaning of the Hegelian term the unhappy consciousness in connection with Hegel's criticism of religion in the phenomenology of the mind) and of Camus (Le Mythe de Sisyphe). He was also interested in the thoughts of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk , but these studies were never published.
