His historical work of history presents a model of rising and falling civilizations, and a law of history. He considers whether all civilizations will pass into one international civilization for a while. His four historical investigations into contemporary world history caution against elitist organizations that influence world events through revolutions. In international relations/statecraft, in a work of political philosophy he has outlined a plan for a democratic World State.

His comparitive religion presents the essence of the world’s religions, the inner Light which is common to all. His philosophy, Universalism, moves away from modern philosophy’s focus on logic and language and identifies a law of order in the universe, which seems to pre-date the Big Bang. He sees the Void as a plenitude rather than an emptiness. His literary, historical and philosophical works are cross-disciplinary and interconnected.

The British poet Nicholas Hagger has written Selected Poems, A Metaphysical’s Way of Fire; Collected Poems, A White Radiance 1958–1993; Collected Poems, 1958–2005; and Classical Odes. He has also written two poetic epics: Overlord, The Triumph of Light, an epic poem based on the events of 1944 – 1945, and Armageddon, The Triumph of Universal Order, an epic poem on the War on Terror and of Holy War Crusaders.

Overlord is the first major poetic epic in the English language since Milton’s Paradise Lost. It tells the story of the Second World War from D-Day to the unleashing of the atomic bomb and has an American hero, Eisenhower. Armageddon is also in the tradition of Homer’s Iliad and Virgil’s Aeneid, and its epic mythology includes higher and lower worlds in the Universalist manner. These two works can be classified as American epics, though written by an English poet.
