The 20th-century immigrant writer, poet, playwright, and public figure Gr. Robakidze. He extensively discusses the process of language cre­ation and its essence, as well as the connection between language and nati­onal phenomenon, in his philosophical sketches, essays, and letters.

 Robakidze perceives language as a mental organ of the mind. Accor­ding to him, the mind is singular and unique, but during the process of actu­alization, it takes shape, becomes distinguished, and thus, language is born. To elucidate this viewpoint, Robakidze refe­rences the famous expression of the Russian philosopher V.I. Solo­viev: "Language is the real mind."

 Furthermore, the Georgian thinker deliberates on the issue of lan­guage creation within the context of nationality and national phenomenon. His letter "Soul and Creation of the Nation" asserts that every nation is a unified social body, and the soul of the nation is an alive, essential entity that exists within the unknowable realm of its members' nature. Robakidze views the authorship of language as collective, belonging to no one indi­vidual but involving the participation of everyone within the nation. Roba­kidze contends that the realization of national phenomenon occurs through the spiritual energy of language, which is expressed in a perfected form. He believes that nationality, as a private entity, is primarily revealed through language.

 It is noteworthy to mention the significant influence of the German scientist Wilhelm von Humboldt's energeistic theory of lan­guage, linguistic worldview on Robakidze's ideas. This influence is evident in Robakidze's discussions. Additionally, Georgian neo-humboldtologist Guram Ramishvili has extensively researched this topic, particularly in his work "Issues of the Energetic Theory of Language."

 Robakidze examines the essence of language and its impor­tance for the nation through the example of the Georgian language. He asserts that the Georgian language embodies primordial know­ledge, stating, "The Geor­gian word is alive – let's say it is the Ger­man 'Ursprache,' the first language. In its first existence lies the first knowledge of secrets."

 In his creative thinking, Robakidze presents his opinions in a hypo­thetical manner, which he considers as arguments confirming the primordial knowledge revealed in the Georgian language. For this purpose, he meticu­lously studies various Georgian words, such as "word," "look," "fruit," "sove­reign," "Sunday," "fasting," and others.

 In conclusion, this article explores Robakidze's perspective on the pro­cess of language creation, its essence, and its relationship to the national phenomenon.
