He was a practicing transnational humanist and educator in North American, European and Asian universities.[3][5] He has argued for a "comparative" aesthetic to foster humane cultural norms. He showed and advocated new paths of reading the classical and modern texts and emphasized the sublime nature, position and pleasures of language arts to be shared, rejecting their reduction to social or professionalutilities. He has produced many books of seminal literary and critical importance as well as series of lectures and essays (such as "Modern Letters") in the general press.[6][7]
