M.M. Bakhtin (1895-1975) - Russian philosopher, whose work adjoins the post-symbolism period of the culture of the Silver Age. Bakhtin presented his teachings as a system that has the character of not abstract metaphysics, but moral philosophy. The main category of his moral ontology was the concept of "being-event," to which the "responsible act" of a person was equated; In this case, the epistemological problem was solved on the basis of the intuition of the "participant," i.e. thought attached to being ("To the philosophy of the act"). In general, the teachings of Bakhtin were initially thought to be syncretic - including ethics and aesthetics, and the scientists themselves in the last period of creativity were defined as philosophical anthropology.
