Philologies are disciplines that elaborate cultural complexities and contingencies. The institutional paradigm, in which it fits, however, is driven increasingly by research policies that may have an unsafe impact on such an endeavor. Investigating on the intrinsic conditions of philological knowledge shows that these disciplines - in as much as research at large - cannot be subsumed by reductionist research policies. It is time to wonder then, how philological research and society meet each other anyhow.
