Galli refers to himself as a subjective realist and as belonging to the pure line of idealism represented by Bishop Berkeley in which being is being in consciousness. His own investigations focus on the problem of the relation between unity and plurality within being and its bearing on debates between realists and idealists. He rejects Gentile's notion that the object is merely the negativity of thought, finding in Gentile’s notion of the universality of the act merely an abstraction. His preferred notion of the structure of being is akin to Kant's transcendental unity. The self is a finite entity, eternally making and doing around the poles of sensible knowledge, reason, voluntary and involuntary action, to which others, which transcend it. reveal themselves. God underpins the possibility of our actually completing the process of self-realization but is not to be conceived as existing in some transcendental realm. Galli’s work attempts to do justice both to the notion of human autonomy and to notion of a transcendent absolute that is lodged intrinsically within us.
