TSU Professor Levan Gigineishvili delivered a public lecture “Theory of Henads by Ioane Petritsi and His New Anthropology” at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (TSU) on February 12. The lecture was delivered in frames of “the First Public Lecture of the Year.” Rector of TSU, Giorgi Sharvashidze, students, professors and invited guests attended the event.
“Exactly 100 years ago Ivane Javakhishvili delivered the first lecture at our university. Today the lecture was delivered by Levan Gigineishvili. Gigineishvili is our new professor. We are glad to welcome back such successful professors, researchers and young scientists to our Alma Mater. This is the most valuable present that a university alumnus can do to the 100-year-old university.”
“It is a great honor for me to deliver the first public lecture on the 100th anniversary of TSU. It is a huge responsibility for me. As for the topic of the lecture, it is interesting, because it is an eternal issue in philosophy over which the scientists are still puzzling,” Levan Gigineishvili said.
The First Public Lecture of the Year is delivered annually in February. Ivane Javakhishvili delivered the first lecture on February 12, 1918. In frames of “the First Public Lecture of the Year”, Parliamentary Chairman Davit Usupashvili delivered a lecture “Our State” at TSU on February 12, 2015; TSU Professor Emeritus, Academician Mariam Lortkipanidze delivered a public lecture “How did we survive?” in 2016.
