He is a member of the editorial series Orbis phaenomenologicus at Alber Verlag in Freiburg i. Br. He engages in critical interpretation of Husserl's phenomenology and its further development, especially in Heidegger, Fink, and Patočka. He attempts to confront phenomenology with traditional modern philosophy (especially with Kant) and with classical metaphysics. In addition, he seeks a view of phenomenology as a whole (Phenomenology and Existentialism, 1994) or an overall interpretation of the philosophical development of its representatives (monographs on Husserl and Patočka, studies on Fink).
