Rooted in the philosophies of Plato and Aquinas, the work explores the essence of existence and the nature of reality. Pieper emphasizes philosophy as a pursuit of truth, rejecting its use for political or economic manipulation. Central to his thought is the concept of "createdness," which he views as the foundation of being. His writing is characterized by directness and intuition, advocating for a connection to the real and a holistic understanding of existence. Through anecdotes, he communicates complex ideas in an accessible manner, reminiscent of Plato's storytelling approach.
