Mikhail Bakhtin

Philosophy of Language

Mikhail Mikhailovich Bakhtin (1895 to 1975) was a Russian philosopher and literary critic who worked on the philosophy of language, ethics and literary theory. His writings influenced scholars across Marxism, semiotics, structuralism and religious criticism, and across disciplines including literary criticism, history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology and psychology. Although he took part in Soviet debates on aesthetics and literature in the 1920s, his distinctive position did not become widely known until Russian scholars rediscovered his work in the 1960s.
