In his Philosophia pragmatica, Rüdiger presents his reconstruction of philosophy based on both internal and external experience, as well as his epistemological and methodological concept of metaphysics. Rüdiger, perhaps the most significant and independent student of Christian Thomasius, was the first within German university philosophy to conceptualize philosophy -especially metaphysics- as an "empirical science." This work starts with epistemology as the foundation for all philosophical knowledge, concept formation, and methodology. Rüdiger's influence extended through his students August Friedrich Müller and Adolph Friedrich Hoffmann to Christian August Crusius, ultimately shaping the early thinking of Immanuel Kant.
