Abstract

Nietzsche was not a conventional philologist, committed to the dominant philological guidelines of his time. The reason is his unorthodox demand for a “philosophical philology”. This new philology envisions not only that the studies of classical antiquity should be understood as a means to ask “great questions”, but also that these studies may later advance to a recognition of the philologist as a “subject of knowledge”.
