WORD OF M.M. BAKHTIN IN CONTEMPORARY CULTURE: PUBLISHING ASPECT

In the given article the author made an attempt to analyse the role and heritage of the great world thinker M.M. Bakhtin from the standpoint of the publishing aspect of life of his works. The article analyzes his work in the context of publishing activities in order to show that Bakhtin’s word found itself and in the XXI century. Bakhtin goes beyond narrowly understood philosophy and philology, he was neither a philosopher nor a scholar in the traditional sense, he was a thinker of a special “boundary type”, that is why, no doubt, informational and bibliographic reflection of the works of the researcher requires further systematization. Each new generation is to comprehend in its own way the legacy of a scientist, and therefore publishing fate of his works is still in progress, and will receive a new development at a future stage of development of the society.
