«Историческая инверсия» Михаила Бахтина в свете консервативного, прогрессивного и мифотворческого мышления
“Historical inversion” by Mikhail Bakhtin in the light of conservative, progressive and myth-making thinking

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of one of the poorly studied and mysterious concepts of Mikhail Bakhtin — “historical inversion.” First of all, the origin of this concept is investigated, and the idea of inversion-revolution is considered in the work of Oswald Spengler’s “The Decline of the West.” Historical inversion is an attempt made by Bakhtin to criticize Aristotle`s doctrine of the entelechy. In a broad perspective, the concept touches upon confrontation on the West-East line. For a deeper understanding, an attempt is made to consider the “historical inversion” in the context of the opposition of progressive (Promethean), conservative (epimethean), and myth-making thinking within the framework of Vardan Hayrapetyan’s folk hermeneutics.
