Freitag's work focuses on paradoxes, expressivism, and epistemic norms. He explores the intersection of language, logic, and knowledge, with recent publications addressing causal reasoning, skepticism, and self-defeating statements.

His publications include I Know: Modal Epistemology and Scepticism (2013) and Form and Philosophy: A Topology of Possibility and Representation (2009).
