Jarosław Marek Duraj

My name is Jarosław Marek Duraj, S.J. I come from Poland. I majored in philosophy (Cracow) and theology (Warsaw). Later, I earned a postgraduate licentiate (S.T.L) in Missiology at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, after which I pursued Mandarin Chinese language studies, first in Taipei, and then in Beijing. In 2008, I obtained an M.A. in Buddhist Studies (with distinction) from the University of Hong Kong. Moreover, I pursued postgraduate research on Chinese Buddhism at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London. In 2017, I earned my Ph.D. in political philosophy from the Pontifical Gregorian University (PUG) in Rome. Currently, based in Macau, I work at the Macau Ricci Institute (MRI) and as an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Religious Studies and Philosophy at the University of St. Joseph (USJ). My research interests focus on political philosophy, interreligious dialogue, intercultural philosophy, missiology, sinology, and Buddhology. I am the author of The Role of Metaxy in the Political Philosophy of Eric Voegelin (New York: Peter Lang, 2021).
