Engels is specialised in the fields of Greco-Roman Antiquity, the Philosophy of History, Intercultural Comparatism and Modern Conservatism. He wrote or edited 28 books, several of whom translated in many languages, authored more than 200 scholarly articles, a 1000 journalistic texts and writes chronicles for numerous European magazines and websites, including one cooking column.
