Article Title:The early intellectual careers of Bakhtin and Herzen: Towards a philosophy of the act
Abstract:
The article explores common ground shat ed by Alexander Herzen's 'Dilettantism in Science' (1843) and Mikhail Bakhtin's 'Towards a Philosophy of the Act' (1919) in the context of the Russian intellectual tradition as a whole. The primary aim is to explore in many ways, perhaps, unlikely affinities between two very different writers in the early stage of their careers. The secondary aim is to explore identifiably 'Russian' motifs which may be said to call into question conventional typologies of Russian thought based on the progressive/conservative divide.
