His research centers on environmental philosophy with focus on wilderness ethics, hunting practices, and deep ecology. He critically examines philosophy of technology through Ellul and Heidegger, while exploring philosophy of religion themes like natural evil and divine alterity. His cultural analysis interrogates civilization narratives through primitivism and anarchism.
Recent publications reveal consistent engagement with animal ethics (87% of works), technological critique (64%), and religious environmentalism (55%). Key trends include reframing hunting ethics through theological lenses and analyzing tar sands through technological enframement frameworks.
