Gould war eine herausragende Persönlichkeit in der rationalistischen und ethischen Bewegung und setzte sich aktiv für die Reform von Bildungspraktiken und die Verbreitung aufklärerischer Ideale ein. Seine bedeutenden Beiträge liegen in der Förderung eines prinzipientreuen, humanistischen Ansatzes für Leben und Lernen, der einen bleibenden Eindruck in der Bildungsphilosophie hinterlassen hat.
