Summary/Abstract: The article provides a short survey of Russian and English texts which tend to sketch a new understanding of philology as a humanities’ discipline. In the 19th century it was divided into several branches and in mid-20th century was considered by many scholars in literary studies as an ancient discipline. In the second half of 20th and the beginning of 21st centuries one encounters repeated calls for the “return to philology” as a research position which by combining various methodological standpoints allows for reaching deep into the meaning of the texts.
