Shalva Nutsubidze

Here he met with Akaki Tsereteli, Vazha-Pshavela, Niko Nikoladze, Ivane Gomarteli, Barbara Kipiani, and Ilia Khoneli first time.

He was elected editor of the illegal magazine "Gantiadi" in sixth grade, which he led until he graduated from high school.

He worked as a regional propagandist and attended the funeral of the revolutionary Alexander Tsulukidze in 1905, where he also spoke on behalf of the Samtredia organization.

He was part of a group led by Vano Sturua that traveled from St. Petersburg to Finland in 1906 to meet with Vladimir Lenin.

Nutsubidze graduated from the Classical Gymnasium and enrolled in the Department of Philosophy of the Faculty of History and Philology at St. Petersburg University in 1906.

[4] While studying in St. Petersburg, he once again collaborated with Georgian revolutionary students such as Vano Sturua, Mamia Orakhelashvili, Shalva Eliava, Silibistro Todria, and others.

[3] Nutsubidze graduated from St. Petersburg University in 1910 and began his career as a history, psychology, and Latin language teacher in the Kuban Oblast.

[1] Later, with the assistance of Professor Alexander Vvedensky, he returned to St. Petersburg University, passed the master's oral and written examinations, and began lecturing in 1917 to achieve the Privatdozent degree.

[2] He spent much of his time at Leipzig, where he was mentored by notable philosophers such as Wilhelm Wundt, Johannes Folkelt, and Karl Barth.

Nutsubidze left his wife and children in St. Petersburg and returned to Tbilisi to participate in the university's establishment preparations.

He intended to translate "The Basics of Aletheology" into German while on a scientific trip, but changed his mind and authored a new book, "Wahrheit und Erkenntnisstruktur" ("Truth and the Structure of Cognition"), which was reviewed in 1926 by prominent Neo-Kantians Arthur Liberty and Buchenau.

According to one story, he was in charge of investigating the fate of Yakov Dzhugashvili, though his presence and work in Berlin were exploited to hold Georgian exiles by Soviet security services.

During a discussion at the Institute of Philosophy in 1948, Petre Sharia and Ilarion Talakhadze fiercely criticized the work "Rustaveli and the Eastern Renaissance", and Nutsubidze was dismissed a year later.

Nutsubidze did not emigrate with the government after Georgia was annexed by Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic on February 25, 1921.

He was handed to the People's Committee of the USSR for State Security on December 1, the same year, after being accompanied from Tbilisi to Moscow.

Following Stalin's death in 1953 and the fall of Lavrenty Beria's power Nutsubidze was expelled from the Academy of Sciences of the Georgian SSR on December 22, 1938, and three days later from Tbilisi State University.

Nutsubidze's works, "History of Georgian Philosophy" and "Rustaveli and the Eastern Renaissance", were published before 1960, but he was limited to full-fledged scientific and educational activity.

From 1956 to 1960, he worked as a senior researcher at the Institute of Philosophy of the Academy of Sciences of the Georgian SSR, and in 1960, he received full rehabilitation from the prosecutions of the USSR, and his scientific status was restored.

the system of higher education and scientific degrees in ancient Georgia,[16][17] dialectical and formal logic and Georgian culture.

[21] Nutsubidze authored school and university textbooks, philosophical terminology, and translated treasures of Georgian poetry into foreign languages, among other things.

Bruno Bauch, a German Neo-Kantian philosopher, earned favorable reviews as well, and both volumes were highly appreciated by Kurt Gassen.

In 1932, Bartholomeus Landheer published a review in the International Journal of Ethics in which he stated that Nutsubidze had made a substantial contribution to the simple solution of tough difficulties of the modern philosophy.

[22][23] Konstantine Bakradze, a Georgian philosopher, responded to one of the works, and his letter, "The Problem of Truth and the Structure of Cognition", was published in the magazine "Mnatobi" in 1928.

[24] Nutsubidze was denied the right to continue teaching philosophy at Tbilisi State University after his return from Germany in 1930.

[2] Nutsubidze and the renowned philologist Simon Kaukhchishvili devised a comprehensive plan for publishing old Georgian philosophical artifacts.

They released "განმარტებაი პროკლესთვის დიადოხოსისა და პლატონურისა ფილოსოფიისათვის" in 1937, which comprised high-level searchings as well as Georgian-Greek and Greek-Georgian dictionaries.

Rustaveli hels a special place in his research not only from the viewpoint of the poet's philosophical outlook, but also as a great humanist of his time.

The author's objective was to shed light on the great poet's cultural context, which included a tangle of complicated issues ranging from socioeconomic and political situations to the popular, literary, and philosophical sources of "The Knight in the Panther's Skin".

He remembered many prayers he had learned in the gymnasium by heart and knew divine law so well that even his friend, Catholicos-Patriarch Kalistrate Tsintsadze, was taken aback.

Phido Nadibaidze,[35] Archil Begiashvili, Guram Tevzadze, and others have published works about Nutsubidze's Aletheologian Realism.
