His research focuses on political philosophy, human rights, dehumanization, war, global security, and political language. He explores the intersections of ethics, politics, and aesthetics, with particular attention to figures like Edmund Burke, Benedetto Croce, and Thomas Jefferson. His work critically examines the rhetoric of human rights, the philosophical foundations of war, and the erosion of subjectivity in contemporary discourse.

The recent articles reveal a strong thematic consistency: a deep engagement with dehumanization, dignity, political rhetoric, and global security. His scholarship spans from historical-philosophical analyses of revolution and counter-revolution to contemporary critiques of sovereign democracy, digital sublime, and the political use of death. He frequently analyzes political language, especially in contexts of war, hate speech, and theocratic governance.
