In philosophy, A. Shirakatsi’s perception of time had its own characteristics, and his consideration was not always detailed or systematized, compared to the later philosophical traditions. A. Shirakatsi’s concepts of time can be seen in his reflections on infinity and finitude, in polemics with “evil pagan” philosophers and Chaldean astrologers. The categories of time in the philosophy of the Armenian philosopher are found in the context of metaphysics, an important component of which was the understanding of time in Aristotle’s philosophy.

Ghevond Alishan’s scientific-literary heritage includes his scientific publications of Armenian medieval manuscripts, historical-geographical and historical studies, literary-religious translations, fiction and poems. Alishan originally planned to present all the regions of Historical Armenia in separate volumes, but managed to publish just four of them: “Shirak” (1881), “Sisvan” (1885) dedicated to Cilicia, “Ayrarat” (1890) and dedicated to Syunik “Sisakan” (1893). Although these are historical-geographical works, they are however written in the artistic style peculiar to Alishan. He paid special importance to writing about the historical and heroic events related to the places of those geographical areas.
