What is Homer and Classical Philology.: (Inaugural Address Delivered at Bâle University, 28th of May 1869.) about?

The document discusses the field of Classical Philology and how its goals and aims are not clearly defined and understood. It touches on how Philology draws from history, linguistics, aesthetics and is also influenced by pedagogical needs. It acknowledges criticisms of Philology from both its supporters and detractors and argues that overall Philology aims to bridge the gap between the idealized view of antiquity and the real antiquity.
