La philosophie, une affaire grecque ? Seulement européenne, occidentale ? Absolument pas ! Partout dans le monde, d'autres cultures, d'autres langues ont des usages multiples de la raison et de son exercice, qui produisent des systèmes de pensée rigoureux, déductifs, démonstratifs.

Starting from a Ciceronian, stoical platform, he developed his views on more rational attitudes towards reality - ‘direct realism’.
