Philosophical work

He created a philosophical system called "concrete philosophy." His system was based on the méthode des démonstrations géométriques which, according to Ferreira, no possibility of disagreement from its assumptions – which he called "theses". The first thesis is the very foundation of his philosophy: "There is something whilst there isn't the absolute nothing", from which he draws other theses through the methods of geometry.[3]
