Abstract . My research is devoted to the explication of anthropologically oriented ontology in the philosophical works of Mikhail Bakhtin. A character of Bakhtin’s “first philosophy” is considered in the article; anthropological and ethical (moral and practical) parameters of this philosophy are defined. I describe the dialogical relation of man to the universe as a fundamental presupposition of knowledge and action. I argue here that the true thinking about the being and the real speech about it is not an abstract theory in Bakhtin, but the direct involvement of the speaker and the thinking in the being of world, of which he speaks and thinks. A status of duty as a normative ontological concept in Bakhtin’s philosophy is defined here. I argue that Bakhtin’s “event” should be understood as “coming into being” (open dynamicity) of all that exists as a whole. I show that the Bakhtin’s “anthropological ontology” allows us to overcome the critical gap between the thinking subject and the object of his thinking, between the existing concrete person and all that exists as a whole; it gives us the opportunity to articulate the principle of dialogic (communicative) mutual definition of active “self” and becoming universe as a context and, in a certain sense, as a “product” of its activities. The relevance of Bakhtin’s anthropological philosophy in a situation where must be to find new grounds for authenticity and efficiency of contemporary anthropological knowledge is proved in this article.
Keywords : anthropology, ontology, Mikhail Bakhtin, being, event, dialog, duty, act, coming into being.
