Summary/Abstract: The article discusses academic and quasi-academic writings of three Silesian literary scholars: Tadeusz Sławek (born in 1946), Stefan Szymutko (born in 1958) and Ryszard Koziołek (born in 1966). The author pays special attention to Koziołek’s vision of philology and hisproject of making philology an important tool for dealing with social tensions manifesting themselves in hate speech. She traces the roots of this project and shows how it corresponds with the history of philology, whose origins indicate deep interrelations between philosophical discussions, literary texts and the quality of public debates.
