Description

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.

Author

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) is the philosopher who made readers uncomfortable on purpose. He wrote of the will to power, eternal recurrence, and the need to become who you are — not as slogans, but as experiments in living. Thus Spoke Zarathustra turns prophecy into literature; his aphorisms flash and refuse to settle.
