Abstract

This paper discusses the way Bakhtin, in his conception of ethical or "responsable" (sic) act, proposes and argues for the centrality of the agent in his/her ethical relationship with other agents in the concrete context of action as the kernel of human agency. With this aim in view, the paper examines Bakhtin's work Towards a Philosophy of the Act, after presenting it from the perspective of its historical context of emergence, crucial for adequately understanding it.
