He held that philosophy should be kept separate from theology, not intimately blended with it as in scholasticism. He accepted orthodox religion But while he thought that reason could show the existence of God, he regarded everything else in theology as known only by revelation. Indeed he held that the triumph in faith is greatest when to the unaided reason a dogma appears most absurd. Philosophy, however, should depend only upon reason. He was thus an advocate of the doctrine of double truth, that of reason and that of revelation.p. 542.
