Shalva Nutsubidze (1888-1969) was one of the foremost Georgian philosophers and cultural historians of the twentieth century, a graduate of the historical-philological faculty of St. Petersburg University, doctor of philosophy (1926), academician of the Georgian Academy of Sciences (1944), and a former member of Georgia's 1919 Constituent Assembly. He is remembered above all for the "Nutsubidze-Honigmann hypothesis," developed independently and then jointly with the Belgian Byzantinist Ernest Honigmann, identifying the fifth-century Georgian thinker Peter the Iberian as the true author behind the enormously influential Corpus Areopagiticum traditionally attributed to Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, one of the most discussed and contested arguments in the study of late antique Neoplatonism and Christian mysticism. Nutsubidze also developed his own original epistemological system, "aletological realism," and served as a scholarly consultant on multiple foreign-language translations of Rustaveli's "The Knight in the Panther's Skin." "History of Georgian Philosophy" (1960) is his magnum opus of synthesis, tracing Georgian philosophical thought from its pre-philosophical mythological roots through the Areopagitic problem, the medieval philosophical renaissance of Ioane Petritsi, Georgian-Armenian and Georgian-Arabic philosophical relations, and into the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, closing with the philosophy of Solomon Dodashvili. Issued in a large-format hardcover edition of 10,000 copies by the state publishing house "Sabchota Sakartvelo," the volume remains the standard comprehensive Russian-language history of Georgian philosophical thought and a foundational reference for scholars of Caucasian intellectual history, Byzantine studies, and the history of philosophy more broadly.
