Abstract

The author examines the sociological methodology used by V. N. Voloshinov (M. M. Bakhtin, 1895-1975) in a number of publications in the 1920s and first applied in the 1926 article “Discourse in Life and Discourse in Poetry: On Sociological Poetics.” Voloshinov (Bakhtin) declares his methodology to be Marxist, but this article proves that it cannot be unequivocally identified with Marxism because it does not quite correspond to the fundamental principles of the doctrine of Marx and Engels. The Voloshinov- Bakhtin methodology reveals a conceptual and thematic affinity with the phenomenological sociology of Max Scheler. The author argues that the article in question attempts to combine in one humanitarian-scientific study two philosophical-sociological methodologies. The author conducts his comparative analysis in the context of studies of Bakhtin’s life and work, seeking to broaden the cultural and science research perspective of the history of Russian philosophical sociology.
