Nettlau's scholarship was marked by deep intellectual rigor and an emphasis on the interconnectedness of anarchist ideas across different cultures and times.

Throughout his life, Nettlau was a staunch advocate for individual freedom and social justice, believing that anarchism offered a viable path toward a more equitable society. He was deeply influenced by prominent anarchist thinkers such as Mikhail Bakunin and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, which is evident in his writings.
