Arnaud wanted to with his work consciously from charitable, moralizing, religious or political / political science Klausulierungen distance. With his theory of pacifism he sat expressly a counterpoint to the beginning of the 20th century the dominant trends anarchism, liberalism or socialism.

In the reflection theory Arnaud follows an emotional but non-political guideline. The consensus should be mutual, unifying understanding, with the deeply humanistic aim to search for a argumentative, peaceful, non-violent conflict resolution and nichtkriegerischen. Arnaud thus referring to former groups to create a law, which had been formed in many European countries since about 1815.
