Dejan Lukić

Assistant Professor of Philosophical Anthropology

Bio

DEJAN LUKIĆ is a writer and philosopher trained as an anthropologist (PhD, Columbia University). At IDSVA he teaches modern and contemporary philosophy with a focus on planetary thought, leading online seminars and in-person residencies in Athens, Venice, and Mexico City, while mentoring doctoral candidates through their dissertations. His work moves between art theory, metaphysics, and natural philosophy, with particular attention to monistic philosophies and the plurisphere as a weave of worlds and forces. He brings the same orientation into the classroom, where close readings, speculative fabulation, and ontological literalism shape a teaching style that is both rigorous and imaginative. His writing practice seeks clarity honed to exactitude and suffused with depth.
