Summary/Abstract: Proceeding from the assertion that a man is “the whole of a human being”, i. e., the ontological symbiosis of man proper and the subject of living (animal) existence, the author claims that the poet is actually a man in the highest — particularly verbal — form of his being. The poet is the subject of being, verbal by its n type and indirect by the manner of its realization. Verbal existence, being out of body, cannot be the subject of scientific knowledge. The type of knowledge that is correct in relation to the person himself, is Philology. The most distinctive feature of Philology is its indirect character. Just as the poet realizes himself and his being as an internal form of the subjects of bodily existence, so philological knowledge of the poet is manifested as an internal form of scientific knowledge about the plot characters and the life event they are living.
