Philologischer F o r t s c h r i t t U L R I C H CHARPA SummaryThis paper is an attempt to establish a general perspective on approaching the philosophy of philology historically.Part I examines the problem of relating history to philosophy of philology, with a view to stressing the importance of historical intuitions about the discipline. It is asserted that such intuitions do not exist for the whole range of philological activities but only for a certain kind.Part II gives a brief survey on the beginnings of philology in the Hellenistic Age in order to make plausible a distinction between two types of philological research: working within a 'grammatical' framework on the one hand, and working within a 'critical' framework on the other.Part III includes a list of some strong historical intuitions about progressive developments in philology of the "grammatical' kind, that could function as touchstones for appraising philosophical models. In the sequel, attention is drawn to the most important types of viewing progress in science. None of them is regarded as the philosophy of philology in question, but they all appear more in tune with our historical intuitions than the prevailing relativism.
