He has written two books, The Limits of Political Theory: Oakeshott's Philosophy of Civil Association and Herbert Butterfield: History, Providence, and Skeptical Politics, and has published articles on social contract theory, the philosophy of history, the concept of ideology, and Orwell's political thought.
