The Comparative Analysis of the Ilia Chavchavadze’s Common Ground Theory and Emzar Khvitchia’s Noology

It is well-known that Ilia Chavchavadze proposed concepts of national ideology, national economy, and nation-state based on Common Ground Theory. Ilia Chavchavadze considered that the strategic vision and understanding of the state should be predicated on three various political ideologies: conservatism, liberalism, and social-democracy. He was a conservative in the matters of statehood and supported the constitutional monarchy, whereas he was a liberal in the matters of human rights, and in the matters of socio-economic development he was a supporter of social-democracy.

As a specialized person in Ilia’s thought Elbert Batiashvili points out, the roots of the common ground theory can be traced in the life of Peter Iber. According to Peter Iber, the basic idea of the common ground theory is a satisfying settlement of adversaries.

In this context, the new theory of “Relativistic-Quantum Noology'' (hereinafter simply mentioned as Noology) which was composed by the Georgian scholar and the doctor of social sciences Emzar Khvichia is especially captivating. According to Noology, the consolidating factor of the Georgian nation is the sense of difference, which can be regarded as a mild version of rivalry.

In both theories such as Ilia Chavchavadze’s Common Ground Theory and Emzar Khvitchia’s Noology, the role that Georgians can play for humanity is depicted much more unambiguously and scientifically - this is a reconciliation (based on Noology it is a management of reconciliation) of opposing parties (according to Noology they are considered as different not opposing forces).

It’s necessary to say that Noology by Emzar Khvichia represents the development of  Dimitri Uznadze’s “Theory of Set” on a larger scale such as nation and humankind. It’s generated with deductive logic and has two origins as “Theory of Noospheric Elements” and “Cyclic Logic”.  The first one produces the exact definitions of personality, nation, and civilization. The second one posits that humanity used to be divided into different civilizations, in each civilization some specific events were unfolding which were cyclic by nature (similar analogy - the seasons change cyclically on Earth).

Aside from the national and human race scale, the interdisciplinary scientific apparatus of Noology is fairly effective on the individual scale as well; meaning that depending on this knowledge it’s possible to compose a new psychological theory and to critically analyze existing psychological schools and theories. 

The philosophical aspect of Noology is extremely important and interesting: in total it represents a new paradigm in science. If Emzar Khvichia's scientific deductions and explorations are approved by international scientific society this will be a leap forward for social science as it was for physics at the beginning of the 20th century. 

This paper mainly focuses on the comparative analysis of the two theories mentioned above, then explains the essence of each theory and attempts to expand them with the help of empirical facts and finally, in the paper I will be trying to prove the relevance, optimal nature, and rationality of these theories.
