With the support of the Rector, Academician David Gurgenidze, and the organization of the Student Parliament and Government, Professor Vano Chiaureli, Head of the Department of Philosophy and Public Relations of the Faculty of Engineering Economics, Media Technologies and Social Sciences of the Georgian Technical University, held a public lecture “Philosophy and Society”.

The event was opened by the President of the University Club of Nodar Tabidze, the Minister of Sports of the Student Parliament and the Government, and a student of the Faculty of Engineering Economics, Media Technologies, and Social Sciences.

Archil Gurgenidze thanked the GTU Rector for his support and the Committee on Education, Science, and Youth Affairs of the Student Parliament and the Government for organizing the event.

According to him, organizing the public lecture aims to popularize philosophical education, discuss issues necessary for the development of society, and promote the creation of a creative environment.

“I would like to open the event with Francis Bacon’s words – “Shallow philosophy separates us from religion, but profound philosophy returns us to its bosom”. One goal of our meeting is to discuss the issue of the dignity of society, as well as of the individual, within a modern philosophical, ethical, and legal framework. I think this significant issue will arouse great interest among the audience. Here, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone – the rector of the Georgian Technical University and academic circles, who supported the initiative of the Student Parliament and the government to discuss this topical issue at the university. Thank you, Professor Vano Chiaureli,” Archil Gurgenidze said in his speech.

Professor Vano Chiaureli’s public lecture “Philosophy and Society” continued in the format of a discussion, in which students and members of the Nodar Tabidze University Student Club, as well as professors of the Faculty of Engineering Economics, Media Technologies, and Social Sciences of GTU, actively participated.

At the end of the public lecture, young people expressed their desire to continue meetings on topical issues in a similar format.
