Korean Democracy in Crisis?

Chin Jungkwon studied Aesthetics at Seoul National University, and received a master’s degree in Aesthetics from SNU. He continued studies in Germany, focusing on Wittgenstein's philosophy of language at the Free University of Berlin. As a professor of the Faculty of Liberal Arts at Dongyang University and the director of the Institute of Techno-aesthetics, he had been leading multidisciplinary studies connecting arts, game and design, before he resigned from his professorship in 2020 for practising political criticism.

He is now active in broadcasting as a political commentator and writing articles on political issues for newspapers. Publications include ‘Odyssey of Aesthetics’, ‘Lectures on Contemporary Aesthetics’, ‘History of Western Arts’, ‘History of Five Senses’, ‘Theories of Media’, ‘Decline of the Progressive’ and more.
