It must find out reason in things, faced with a multiplicity of facts, and bewildered when it cannot find one unifying principle which simplifies the heterogeneity of things.

Cibran, Yakın, Orta ve Uzak Doğu'nun geleneksel öğretilriyle Batı düşüncesini karşılaştırmış, bireysel ve toplumsal olgulara çeşitli sentezler getirmiştir. Yapıtlarında şiirsel bir anlatım kullanmış, doğu düşüncesini batı diliyle yazmıştır. Bu nedenle Cibran'ın eserlerini dinleyenler, bir bakıma peygamberlerin kitaplarını dinliyormuş izlenimine kapılırlar. Tıpkı kutsal kitaplardaki gibi yazım büyük önem taşır.

Konu da az çok aynıdır: Doğa, toplum ve insanoğlu.
