Nutsubidze, Shalva. Critical Essays: Literature and Philosophy.
Tbilisi : Sabchota Sakartvelo, 1969.
327 pp. ; 22 cm. Hardcover. Print run: 4,000 copies. In Georgian.

This 1969 volume brings together a profound collection of works by Shalva Nutsubidze (1888–1969), one of the most towering figures in 20th-century Georgian intellectual history. Published in Tbilisi by Sabchota Sakartvelo in the year of the author’s death, the book serves as a vital synthesis of his lifelong dedication to the intersection of literary theory and philosophical thought. Nutsubidze, the founder of "Alethiology" and the scholar who famously identified Peter the Iberian with Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, applies his vast erudition to the analysis of Georgian and world literature. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the "Oriental Renaissance," including the arrangement of philosophical motifs in Shota Rustaveli’s The Knight in the Panther's Skin and the evolution of Georgian aesthetic thought through the ages.
Across 327 pages, Nutsubidze explores the metaphysical underpinnings of classical texts, moving seamlessly from European philosophical traditions to the unique cultural synthesis of the Caucasus. His essays are characterized by a rigorous academic approach tempered by a deep national consciousness, making this book a primary source for understanding the development of Soviet Georgian philosophy during the "Thaw" and late Soviet periods. Printed in a limited run of 4,000 copies, this hardcover edition remains a cornerstone for scholars of Kartvelian studies and the history of ideas. It documents the intellectual legacy of a man who bridged the gap between medieval scholasticism and modern critical theory, ensuring his place as a central figure in the Georgian Enlightenment of the 20th century.
