Gustavo Bueno is the main proponent of an original philosophical system, a variety of philosophical materialism[2] which rejects physical reductivism and excludes any possibility of spiritual life without reference to organic life. Bueno's ontology and theory of knowledge are not based on mechanic materialism or dualistic historical materialism, but on the reality of current sciences and on a rich interpretation of the main systems defended by the different traditions available in the History of Philosophy.

The founder of academic (scholar) philosophy, Plato, defended in Sophist the principle of Symploké that Bueno uses to support both determinism and pluralism: "nothing is isolated from everything else, but not everything is connected to everything else; otherwise, nothing could be known."[3] Thus, Bueno opposes both monism and skepticism. Some of Bueno's works have been translated into English, German and Chinese.

Pupil of the national-syndicalist Santiago Montero Díaz, Bueno's ideological path reached right-wing totalitarianism during the years of the late francoism.[4]
