Mikhail Bakhtin is one of the most influential theorists of philosophy as well as literary studies. His work on dialogue and discourse has changed the way in which we read texts â" both literary and cultural â" and his practice of philosophy in literary refraction and philological exploration has made him a pioneering figure in the twentieth-century convergence of the two disciplines.

In this book, Graham Pechey offers a commentary on Bakhtinâs texts in all their complex and allusive âtextualityâ, keeping a sense throughout of the historical setting in which they were written and of his own interpretation of and response to them. Examining Bakhtinâs relationship to Russian Formalism and Soviet Marxism, Pechey focuses on two major interests: the influence of Eastern Orthodox Christianity upon his thinking; and Bakhtinâs use of literary criticism and hermeneutics as ways of âdoing philosophy by other meansâ.
