Jonas Dagys serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of History of Philosophy and Analytical Philosophy at Vilnius University, where his research centers on contemporary analytic philosophy, logic, and the historical development of analytic thought. His scholarly profile reflects deep engagement with methodological implications of psychophysical reductionism and antireductionism, as well as critical examinations of temporal metaphysics through comparative studies of philosophers like McTaggart and Mellor. His research trajectory demonstrates evolving specialization: early work (2006-2012) established foundations in consciousness studies and mind-body problems, while recent publications (2019-2022) reveal intensified focus on medieval logic—particularly Buridan's modal propositions—and intersections between analytic philosophy and early Christian thought. Additional interests include Fregean semantics, university management during crises, and Wittgensteinian philosophy, indicating both historical depth and contemporary relevance in his analytical approach. Analysis of his 15 most recent publications shows a clear methodological pattern: rigorous logical formalization of historical philosophical concepts combined with empirical considerations in identity studies. The 2020-2022 output particularly highlights adaptation to contemporary academic challenges, including pandemic-era educational management alongside sustained exploration of foundational philosophical questions through medieval and modern lenses. No scientific awards were documented in the provided sources. Information regarding student supervision, research grants, laboratory affiliations, or collaborative research teams was not present in the available materials, suggesting either omission in the source texts or primary focus on independent scholarly publication rather than team-based research activities.
