He was reluctant to involve himself with the more abstract speculations of the philosophers but took comfort in the doctrines of Epicurus and Enfield's philosophical handbook. His concern to find a practical rule of conduct and social morality made him an object of admiration for later French thinkers such as Cabanis, Volney, Thierry, and Comte.
