His academic work focuses on political philosophy, addressing both its theoretical foundations and its applications in the analysis of historical and contemporary phenomena. He examines concepts such as political freedom, democracy, social conflict, and the relationship between ethics and politics, exploring how these have been interpreted throughout the tradition of Western political thought.

He is particularly interested in the study of liberal thought, republicanism, and the tensions between pluralism and unity in political organization. He also reflects on the moral foundations of public life and the role of the citizen in democratic societies, linking his research with the analysis of Chile’s political and social context.

He teaches Political Philosophy courses at the Faculty of Social Sciences and also contributes to doctoral training in philosophy.

In addition, he actively participates in public debate as a columnist for El Mercurio and as a panelist on programs such as CNN Chile’s Tolerancia Cero, connecting his academic reflections with the national political agenda.
