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.

“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.
