Mandonnet rediscovered Siger's work in the 1890's. This was of some importance to our understanding of medieval philosophy, suggesting it could no longer be viewed simply as theology, although it is still not clear how we should interpret his work. According to Mandonnet, he was an Averroist who endorses Christian doctrine only because it is expedient. Van Steenberghen, by contrast, regards him as a sincere Christian whose position was close to that of Aquinas.
His works include logical works (<i>Impossibilia</i>, <i>Quaestiones logicales</i>, <i>Sophismata</i>); commentaries on Aristotle (<i>In III De Anima</i>, <i>De generatione</i>, <i>Physics</i>, <i>Metaphysics</i>), and the Treatises <i>De Necessitate et contingentia causarum</i>, <i>De aeternitate mundi</i>, and <i>De anima intellectiva</i>, some of which were published by Mandonnet in 1899.
