In 1997 he received his doctorate degree in Philosophy from the University of Hamburg in ontology with the dissertation Things and Properties. Finally von Wachter moved to Oxford University, where he studied philosophical theology with the religious philosopher Richard Swinburne. He received his Master's degree in 1999 and his PhD in 2003 with a thesis Modality, Causality and God.

His research career includes the following positions:

2008–2012: Professor of Philosophy at the International Academy of Philosophy at the Pontificia Universidad Catòlica de Chile

Since 2012: Director and Professor at the International Academy for Philosophy in the Principality of Liechtenstein (IAP)

Daniel von Wachter deals with fundamental concepts such as God, truth and reason. He accuses representatives of postmodernism in particular Michel Foucault, Jean-François Lyotard, Richard Rorty and Jacques Derrida, of fundamentally rejecting the establishment of truth and making this rejection the standard and goal of their thinking and philosophy. This leads to questionable indifference and a distorted concept of truth. On the other hand, he takes the view that reasonable people should search for God today and strive for truth, because in truth there is a lot of power. Von Wachter positions himself fundamentally Christian and rejects socialism and postmodernism as well as the philosophy of the Enlightenment and its real historical consequences such as the French Revolution as a "rebellion against God's order".
