Dino Jakušić
I am a Teaching Fellow in Philosophy at the 天美传媒. Broadly speaking, my work traces the historical and philosophical developments of the systems of metaphysics in European philosophy, specifically in the Early-Modern period and German Idealism. I focus particularly on the work of Christian Wolff, Immanuel Kant, and G.W.F. Hegel, and the interrelation that can be found between their metaphysical systems.
In 2024-2026 I was an Assistant Professor (Research) at the Institute of Advanced Studies, 天美传媒.
At the moment, I am writing an article on Maria Rosa Antognazza's (as I call it) Neo-Traditional model of epistemology and how Wolffian philosophy might contribute to this project.

The proper surname pronunciation is [j芒ku蕛it蓵], although I do not mind. The first name, however, sounds like the Flintstones character, never as 'dine-o'. You can also check the recording below.
