Tasos Zembylas (born 1962 in Cyprus) is a philosopher and social scientist with focus in aesthetics and cultural institution studies.
His theoretical efforts resulted in the elaboration of an inter-disciplinary approach towards the major topics of cultural institution studies.
The study focused on the formation and effects of artistic-practical know-how, as well as on the role of professional experience in the creative process.
From 2013 to 2015, together with Andreas Holzer, Annegret Huber, Martin Niederauer and Rosa Reitsamer, Zembylas conducted a similar study on composition processes in the field of contemporary art music.
In it he not only addressed religious practices but also the economic management of the Holy Monastery of Vatopedi, which made the headlines in the international press in 2008 in connection with a real estate scandal.
