We Philologists
In this intriguing early paper, Nietzsche describes his fellow philologists and their proclivities with the barbed frankness which was to become his signature style. This early text was first written by Friedrich Nietzsche around 1874, but was only published after his death in 1900. The title refers to philology - the study of ancient languages - which was Nietzsche's academic specialty prior to venturing into philosophy full-time. Something of a critique of education at large, in this text the philosopher examines and compares the nature of academics he witnessed and studied among during his years as a philologist with the Ancients whose languages they study. His anecdotes are forthright an...
World Philology
Philology—the discipline of making sense of texts—is enjoying a renaissance within academia after decades of neglect. World Philology charts the evolution of philology across the many cultures and historical time periods in which it has been practiced, and demonstrates how this branch of knowledge, like philosophy and mathematics, is an essential component of human understanding. Every civilization has developed ways of interpreting the texts that it produces, and differences of philological practice are as instructive as the similarities. We owe our idea of a textual edition for example, to the third-century BCE scholars of the Alexandrian Library. Rabbinical philology created an innova...

The Powers of Philology
Philology--the discovery, editing, and presentation of historical texts--was once a firmly established discipline that formed the core study for students across a wide range of linguistic and literary fields. Although philology departments are steadily disappearing from contemporary educational establishments, in this book Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht demonstrates that the problems, standards, and methods of philology remain as vital as ever. For two and a half millennia philologists have viewed themselves as the modest heirs and curators of their textual past's most glorious periods, collecting and editing text fragments, historicizing them and adding commentary, and ultimately teaching them to co...

Philology
A prehistory of today's humanities, from ancient Greece to the early twentieth century Many today do not recognize the word, but "philology" was for centuries nearly synonymous with humanistic intellectual life, encompassing not only the study of Greek and Roman literature and the Bible but also all other studies of language and literature, as well as history, culture, art, and more. In short, philology was the queen of the human sciences. How did it become little more than an archaic word? In Philology, the first history of Western humanistic learning as a connected whole ever published in English, James Turner tells the fascinating, forgotten story of how the study of languages and texts led to the modern humanities and the modern university. The humanities today face a crisis of relevance, if not of meaning and purpose. Understanding their common origins—and what they still share—has never been more urgent.
Philology and Global English Studies
This book retraces the formation of modern English Studies by departing from philological scholarship along two lines: in terms of institutional histories and in terms of the separation of literary criticism and linguistics.
We Philologists (Annotated)
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (October 15, 1844 - August 25, 1900) was German philosopher, poet, composer, cultural critic and classical philologist. He wrote critical texts on religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy and science, displaying a fondness for metaphor, irony and aphorism. Nietzsche's key ideas include the death of God, the Übermensch, the eternal recurrence, the Apollonian and Dionysian dichotomy, perspectivism and the will to power.
We Philologists
"We Philologists" is a reflection on the study of classical philology, the field in which Nietzsche was trained and spent many years within. He critiques the narrowness and pedantry of contemporary philological scholarship, calling for a more dynamic and creative approach to the study of ancient cultures. This essay reveals Nietzsche's disillusionment with academia and his desire for a more holistic and life-affirming engagement with the classical tradition. Nietzsche's "We Philologists" was written in 1874, but remained unpublished during his lifetime. It was first published in 1909 as part of a compilation of Nietzsche's works edited by Ernst Holzer and published by C. G. Naumann. This pos...
