Abstract
This article discusses the main trends of Georgian philosophy: its basic principles
and perspectives, the importance of the Western, especially the European cultural
heritage, and the Georgian contribution to the history of ideas in a global perspective.
Metaphysical questions of cognition, truth, identity, virtue and value, wisdom and power,
as well as issues of ethical, social, political and aesthetic values, phenomenological,
philosophical-theological and linguistic research are central to Georgian philosophy and
exemplify its continuing relevance vis-à-vis the Western tradition in its broadest sense.
Although philosophical ideas in Georgia rarely matured into a well-balanced, self-sufficient system, one may distinguish as original conceptions some ideas of Christian Neo-Platonism and Aletheological Realism.
