In 2016, together with the business ethicist Christoph Lütge , he published a handbook on the business ethic approach of the regulatory ethics , which goes back to the German business ethicist Karl Homann . In 2014, an anthology was published on the philosophy of science and technology , which he edited together with Julian Nida-Rümelin and Fiorella Battaglia. He also appeared in public through his criticism of homeopathy and his book The 10 Commandments of Common Sense .

In his contributions, he mainly deals with the topics of para- and pseudosciences , alternative medicine (especially homeopathy ), thinking errors, learning myths and post-truth, fake news and conspiracy theories . Together with the GWUP eV doctor and communications manager Natalie Grams , he published the essay critical of homoeopathy “The mistakes of thought in homeopathy” in 2017, which appeared in the journal Brain & Spirit and later on Zeit Online and Investigación y Ciencia (investigacionyciencia.es, in Spanish) as a guest article has been published. There he advocated the thesis that the widespread belief in the healing power of homeopathy can be explained by fundamental errors of thought. The text was one of the ten most successful articles of 2017 in the online science portal Spektrum.de .
