The article presents a series of five cultural renaissances which took place in the Western World from the 3rd century BC to the 15th–16th centuries AD. One feature which all these renaissances had in common was a type of technological turn which either triggered or helped to spread renewed interest in literature. The end of the 20th century and especially the beginning of the 21st century has been witness to a major technological revolution. Some signs of literary and philological renewal can also be observed, especially in the field of classical studies. All this has led some scholars to believe that we are currently heading for the sixth Renaissance.

Veterum Patrum et scriptorum ecclesiasticorum doctrina in Instituto Philologiae Classicae Universitatis Studiorum Varsaviensis tum demum reapse tractari est coepta, cum mutato rei publicae statu et ipsis viris doctis et iuvenibus studiosis nova educandi via aperiebatur dabaturąue facultas. Itaque iam nunc duo seminaria legendis istorum auctorum operibus instituta sunt et scholae habentur, quibus de eorum textu, lingua et stilo disseritur quibusque praecipuae illorum auctorum doctrinae theses disputantur. Hoc etiam tempore nonnulla meletemata, articuli et libri divulgati sunt, quae ad varias quaestiones solvendas aspectabant. Plures sunt quoque auditores, qui ad haec studia fovenda vel proprio ingenio vel curiositate incitantur.

This article is an outcome of a critical reading of a recently published book Philology. The Forgotten Origins of the Modern Humanities. Its author, James Turner, an American historian, outlines the origins and history of modern humanities. He shows that for many centuries philology was regarded as the pillar of the multi-layered humanities but lost its privileged status when individual branches started to acquire an independent status as distinct scholarly disciplines. Turner contests the widespread view that “information overload” was directly responsible for this course of development in the area of modern humanities. He argues that Renaissance scholars faced similar problems but solved tchem differently by applying technologies that helped to manage the fl ood of information. Thus, hyperspecialization, characteristic for modern humanities, is merely a cramping fi lter, which constrains knowledge rather than organizes it.

Artykuł jest wynikiem krytycznej lektury opublikowanej niedawno książki Philology. The Forgotten Origins of the Modern Humanities. Jej autor, James Turner, amerykański historyk, przedstawia genezę i rozwój współczesnych nauk humanistycznych. Filologia, która przez kolejne stulecia uchodziła za królową humanistyki, utraciła swą uprzywilejowaną pozycję w momencie, gdy poszczególne gałęzie dziedziny podstawowej zaczęły wyodrębniać się w niezależne dyscypliny badawcze. Autor polemizuje z panującą powszechnie opinią, że ten kierunek rozwoju był nieuchronną konsekwencją nadmiaru informacji we współczesnej nauce. Argumentuje, że renesansowi humaniści, zmagając się z podobnym problemem, potrafi li rozwiązać go, stosując odpowiednie narzędzia i mnemotechnikę. Z tej perspektywy szczegółowa specjalizacja, charakterystyczna dla współczesnej humanistyki, zdaje się być niewygodnym filtrem, który ogranicza wiedzę zamiast ją porządkować.
