| Summary | "We Philologists" by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche is a philosophical critique written in the late 19th century. This work examines the field of philology, particularly focusing on the qualifications and effectiveness of its practitioners in conveying the essence of classical cultures to modern students. Nietzsche expresses deep concerns about how classical antiquity is taught and understood in contemporary education. The opening of the text sets the stage for Nietzsche’s provocative ideas regarding philology and education. He argues that many philologists are ill-equipped and unsuited for their roles, often lacking a genuine understanding of ancient cultures. Nietzsche points out that most practitioners enter the field out of imitation or for the sake of earning a living, rather than a true grasp of their subject matter. Throughout this introduction, he emphasizes that philology should evolve to truly engage with antiquity, urging a connection between the past and present that transcends mere academic exercise to enhance genuine cultural understanding.
