Beyond academia, he penned over 80 books, including mysteries under the pseudonym Monica Quill, blending intellectual rigor with narrative flair. His commitment to reviving Aristotelian-Thomistic philosophy influenced generations of thinkers, establishing him as a leading voice in 20th-century Catholic philosophy until his death in 2009.
