| Abstract | |
This is the complementation of a work started in Scientific Initiation, in which the influence of Idealism in the Marxist synthesis presented by Valentin N. Voloshinov - member of the Bakhtin Circle - in Marxism and the Philosophy of Language (MPL, 1929) was analyzed. Still in those early days of comparing MPL to the philologist Karl Vossler, Wilhelm von Humboldt was already requiring attention, as he is considered the most prominent idealistic linguist: in Russia, homeland to the Bakhtin Circle, Humboldt is taken as the very founder of general Linguistics. Voloshinov assigns Idealism as the thesis which, confronted to its antithesis (the Geneva School), offers the base for the critical reflections that constitute the Marxist synthesis. Three topics are to be analyzed in this monography: i) how Humboldt and Voloshinov conceive dialogism will deliver two different conceptions of individual: for the former, the manifestation of a universal intelligence (the spirit - Geist) also capable of innate linguistic ability; for the latter, a responsive subject whose potential liberty is not absolute, but socially oriented according to extra verbal concrete situations. ii) Word emergence as per that innate ability, in the one hand, and rooting from socio-ideological communication, on the other, which corroborates the previous conclusions: the greatest dispute among Idealism and Marxism in the Philosophy of Language is precisely the theorization of individual consciousness as either apriori to experience or as a socio-ideological fact. iii) The influence of language as a collective system in societal organization, that appears under the terms worldview to Humboldt and ordinary ideology to Voloshinov, reveals that the Marxist subject is a social being whilst society in idealistic terms is analogous to an individual being. Results lead to the inversion, that had already presented itself in the early steps of the research, during the Scientific Initiation, of the idealistic dialectics by the Marxists: Idealism sees thedialectical movement from the standpoint of the inner being and expand it to the outter world;Marxism sees the dialectical movement from the standpoint of social interaction and verbal communication, latter absorbed by the subject as ideology.
