Philologie und Philosophie: Beitrage zur VII. Internationalen Fachtagung der Arbeitsgemeinschaft philosophischer Editionen (12.-14. Marz 1997 Munchen)

These contributions by prominent editors inquire centrally into the relation between philology and philosophy, more specifically the possibility of an inner bond uniting them, of a philological form of knowledge and truth, in short of a philosophy of philology. Alongside studies on the theoretical, methodological and hermeneutic aspects of editing, attention is also given to recent tendencies in editing theory and practice such as éeacute;dition génétique and New Philology. Finally readers are informed about increasingly important practical and pragmatic aspects of editing, including funding, electronic editing and the copyright issues posed by the latter.
