Mikhail Bakhtin (1895 – 1975) is a Russian philosopher and literary theorist whose works have contributed to many disciplines (linguistics, anthropology, philosophy, literary theory, and critique).
Bakhtin’s authorship is a detective problem because he and others say that some of the works he wrote were published on behalf of his colleagues. In his works – both the indisputable and the others – the dialogical approach to language and literature is adopted.
