Himma specialises in philosophy of law, philosophy of information, information ethics, social philosophy, political philosophy and philosophy of religion, and has authored dozens of academic papers in these fields.[2] From 2004 until 2011 he worked as a professor in the philosophy department of Seattle Pacific University, after which he began lecturing part-time at the University of Washington School of Law.[1][3]

He is the author of Coercion and the Nature of Law (Oxford University Press, 2020), Morality and the Nature of Law (Oxford University Press, 2019), and The Nature of Authority (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming 2024). He is on editorial boards of Legal Theory, Law and Philosophy, Ratio Juris, Revus: A Journal for Constitutional Theory and Philosophy of Law.
