Ivane Javakhishvili and the history of Georgia, Ivane
Javakhishvili and the University are widespread notions
that are viewed synonyms by Georgian society. A great
scientist, the founder of the university – these are just
elements of the many-sided life of Ivane Javakhishvili.
It is safe to say that his life illustrates an example of
a successful work of a visionary leader in the most difficult
environment. His life was based on universal as
well as national values. He is the implementer of Ilia
Chavchavadze’s ideas.
Ivan Javakhishvili epitomizes a new phase in Georgian
science: he founded Georgian university and upgraded
scientific work and research in Georgia. His credo
is well-illustrated in the following words: “research
of Georgian culture would have allowed us to utilize the
old reserve that should have revived and given rise to
the Georgian science that used to be rich before it fell
into decay.”
Ivane Javakhishvili created a completely new, fundamental
system of research of Georgian history and
culture. He founded interdisciplinary research of Georgian
history. His research activities demonstrated that
a genuine science is a synthesis of different fields. He
researched Georgian history as a whole – starting from
the Georgian nation, origination of its writing system,
Georgian polyphony and history of agriculture.
Ivane Javakhishvili has initiated a number of expeditions
and archeological excavations. He took theoretical
as well as field research to a whole new level.
His works constitute not only a scientific research
