This was followed by teaching positions in philosophy and social sciences at the University of Oldenburg , the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences and in the Lower Saxony Study Institute for Local Administration .

In addition to academic publishers, Wallat also publishes his texts online and in left-wing publishing projects in the political context of the Association of Left Publishers . He is a member of the advisory board of the social science online specialist publication Critique Network - Journal for Critical Theory of Society .
reception
Peter Nowak first reviewed Wallat's anthology, violence and morality , in analysis & criticism, which attempts a “historical-philosophical approach to the question of violence in emancipation movements”. This claim is "fulfilled in the book at a high academic level." As the central connecting factor of the texts by seven other authors, Nowak makes the question of "when the October Revolution and the worldwide left movements it created lost their claim to emancipation." Nowak criticizes the “academic jargon” that is sometimes predominant.
Philippe Kellermann attests to Wallat's broad interests and an unorthodox approach to the history of philosophy, which was already evident in his dissertation, The Awareness of the Crisis. Marx, Nietzsche and the emancipation of the nonidentical in political theory in 2009.
In the journal for left theory and debate Grundrisse , Kellermann published a benevolent book review of the 2012 study of the left criticism of Bolshevism State or Revolution , in which Wallat shows that "even in the history of the terribly failed communist attempt at emancipation, there have always been alternatives". To this end, Wallat looks at protagonists of various directions in the contemporary left-wing Bolshevism reception and criticism. About Lenin himself, Georg Lukács and the anarcho-syndicalist Rudolf Rocker , the work reaches its climax in Wallat's analysis of Isaak Steinberg's violence and terror in the revolution . In it, Steinberg meticulously showed that any possible justification of terror in defense of the revolution was wrong.
Despite a few minor objections, Kellermann thinks the book is highly recommended. Wallat had succeeded with “ State or Revolution an impressive investigation”.
