Giovanni Pico della Mirandola in Georgian Scientific Field

Abstract

Giovanni Pico della Mirandola is a very famous philosopher who worked during the Renaissance, 1463-1494. He laid the foundation for new philosophical currents: syncretism, natural philosophy, and Christian Kabbalah, which is the basis of today's Western mystery tradition. There is not much information about Mirandola in the Georgian scientific space due to the scarcity of works, although this does not mean that there is nothing written about him in Georgian, it should be said that different works of Mirandola are discussed in each of them, although the main idea of ​​Mirandola's philosophy is conveyed in each of them. When we mention the Georgian scientific work on Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, we cannot fail to cite Ilia Chavchavadze as an example. Ilia Chavchavadze (1837-1907), in 1888, in "Iveria" well introduced his readers to the content of the most important and common human value of Mirandola's legacy. The second source that we would like to mention is Eter Jachvadze's book "The Stormy Age", in which he talks about the luminaries of the Renaissance era, alongside whom he mentions Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. When discussing Georgian scientific works, we must mention Mariam Karbelashvili and her work - "Christian foundations of Renaissance anthropocentrism: Rustaveli and Pico della Mirandola". Like Chavchavadze, Karbelashvili deals with the driving aspect of Mirandola's philosophy - human. Karbelashvili first explains the essence of Renaissance, Renaissance anthropocentrism, and then moves on to Giovanni Pico's role in this field: "The complete coincidence of Rustaveli's anthropology with Pico della Mirandola's anthropology is not an attempt to find a violent parallel, but a reality confirmed by appropriate scientific facts, recorded in Rustaveliology since the foundation of this science. Ms. Mariami discusses in her work that Pico della Mirandola and Rustaveli have understood the creation of man by God and his place in the world in the same way, and they convey this in the "Speech about the Dignity of Man" and in The Leopard. As you can see, Karbelashvili presented Pico in a very interesting way. He singled out the main issue of Mirandola's philosophy - the role of man in the world and put forward Shota Rustaveli's view on the same issue and showed us that they are identical
