Dialogue is a ubiquitous term in everyday experience and increasingly in recent philosophy. Combining diverse approaches from the history of philosophy, phenomenolongy and the insights of Mikhail Bakhtin, Dimitri Nikulin gives us a clear and illuminatingaccount of dialogues as process, event, and interaction in the world....

Since the Bakhtin Boom in the 1980s, 'dialogue' has been everywhere present as a word and too often absent as a disciplined philosophical relation. Nikulin provides the concept with a history, a psychology, and an inventory of its pitfalls, dead-ends, and challenges. But he does more. In devising his own bridge categories to help us flourish in dialogue, he sheds light on its most confounding paradoxes: how I can owe my being to dialogue and yet recognizably cohere and persist over time; and how I am atany moment complete, but at no time finalized. An erudite and inspiring book.
