metadata.value: This paper is an attempt of approaching the crisis in modern philology not in a judgmentbased
  manner but in a way that a famous Russian scholar Vladimir Markovich did within
  his university course “Theory of the Literary Process”; he regarded the crisis as a new level of
  understanding the preceding experiences in philology. The problem of humanities in general
  and of philology in particular has been in the spotlight for about a quarter of a century. It is
  generally accepted that the crisis is extensive, methodologically, disciplinarily, institutionally
  and even reputationally speaking. The possible reasons of the crisis were widely discussed and
  these discussions resulted in multiple attempts to change the field of studies in humanities and
  to abandon the preceding research tradition. For Russian scholars, this tradition was primarily
  connected with the hermeneutic type of literary studies. According to the modern critical
  thought, the research settings of this kind of philology do not correspond to the current
  issues. It may seem that even the best examples of academic philology are merely historical
  artefacts. However, the experience of hermeneutic literary studies could be useful for a critical
  reflection of the grounds of modern humanities since this experience is analysed not from the
  perspective of its relevance or as a science history, but as a cultural experience. Characteristic
  of hermeneutic literary studies is seeing the process of research as a creative one. The result of
  this process is not merely an analytic description but a text that should be created and evaluated
  by means of the same aesthetic criteria as the subject of the study itself — i.e. fictional
  text. Thus, philological works of this kind became popular not only among specialists, but
  also with an amateur audience as well. It created a high reputation for philology as a special
  area of knowledge. It is believed that the cultural experience of hermeneutic literary studies
  demonstrates that it is possible to overcome the crisis not only by developing new research
  frameworks, but also by looking for the language of research that could become the language
  of modern culture.
