Synopsis

Nietzsche argues that philology is not just an academic discipline, but a way of life that requires a deep appreciation for language and culture. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the historical context of texts, and the need to read them in their original language to fully appreciate their meaning and beauty. "We Philologists" is a passionate and insightful reflection on the value and meaning of philology, and a call to approach the study of language and literature with greater creativity and sensitivity. Read in English, unabridged.

About Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was a German philosopher and philologist whose best-known works include Thus Spoke Zarathustra; Ecce Homo; Human, All Too Human; and Beyond Good and Evil. Much of his work is characterized by radical questioning of the value and objectivity of truth and criticism of traditional ideals of morality. Nietzsche's writings were significant influences on the existentialist, nihilist, and postmodernist schools of thought, as well as on the work of such later writers as Herman Hesse, Albert Camus, Sigmund Freud, and Jean-Paul Sartre.
