A HISTORICAL REVIEW OF THE PHENOMENOLOGICAL THINKING IN THE XX CENTURY GEORGIAN PHILOSOPHY

Mamuka Dolidze

            My objective is to review phenomenological studies in contemporary Georgian philosophy. Besides Husserl, the review concerns the problems of Hartman's epistemology and existential ontology.

            I consider the following Georgian philosophers: Kote Bakradze, Angia Bochorishvili, Zurab kakabadze, Guram Tevzadze, Givi Margvelashvili and Merab Mamardashvili.

            This brief review of phenomenological studies of Georgian authors reveals once again an enormous impact of Husserl's conception, which, in spite of the obstacles observed in our soviet history, found a deep reffection in the Georgian philosophical school.
