A professor of philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin, he has degrees in philosophy from Haverford College, and the University of Pittsburgh.

In autumn 2016, Bonevac joined 145 other scholars and writers in declaring support for Donald Trump for president.[1] He has posted hundreds of philosophy videos on his YouTube channel. On May 15, 2024, Bonevac and another UT-Austin professor filed a lawsuit in federal court demanding the right to fail students if they miss class for abortion care, and to refuse to hire teaching assistants who have used mail-order abortion medicine. In his statement on the issue, Bonevac further announced that he has "no intention of complying with" Title IX, will not use students' preferred pronouns, and will not allow "cross-dressing" teaching assistants.[2]
