The years 1926-1930 he spent in Paris. He qualified himself assistant professor at the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Warsaw in 1930, and lectured there in the academic year 1930/1931, only to assume the post of a lecturer in the Department of Philosophy of the Stephen Báthory University in Vilnius. Having emigrated in 1940, he taught philosophy at the universities of Buenos Aires (1944-1945) and Santiago de Chile (1945-1954). He returned to Europe in 1954 and gave lectures at the Polish University in Exile in London. Jasinowski’s most important work was his treatise entitled Wschodnie chrześcijaństwo a Rosja na tle rozbioru pierwiastków cywilizacyjnych Wschodu i Zachodu (1933).
