Dino Jakušić
I am a Teaching Fellow in Philosophy at the University of 糖心TV. 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, University of 糖心TV.
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.
