English summary: In this text, the author invites his readers to rethink the philosophical practice. Perhaps, to Nietzsche, philosophy is nothing more than philology continued by other means; and perhaps it is even this same idea that tries to suggest the fundamental characterization of the latter as "art of reading." French text. French description: La philologie, hypertrophie d'une pulsion de connaissance objective devenue tyrannique, d'une volonte de savoir a tout prix, emportee par une passion monstrueuse qui ne sait plus choisir, qui refuse desormais de penser et neglige de s'interroger sur la valeur des differentes connaissances, doit-elle etre fuie? La philologie, paradigme de l'education a la rigueur, a la scientificite au sens le plus noble du terme, maitresse de probite intellectuelle et protection contre les delires imaginatifs qui s'emparent si aisement de la meditation philosophique, principe de la maitrise de soi et du sacrifice des preferences subjectives naives ou spiritualisees, doit-elle etre poursuivie? Toute la reflexion de Nietzsche est comme tendue entre cette double appreciation. Par laquelle l'auteur d'Ainsi parlait Zarathoustra cherche precisement a faire saisir a son lecteur comment il convient de repenser la pratique philosophique. Peut-etre en effet la philosophie n'est-elle pour Nietzsche, en un certain sens, que la philologie continuee par d'autres moyens--et peut-etre meme est-ce la ce que veut suggerer la caracterisation fondamentale de cette derniere comme art de bien lire .
