Georgy Valentinovich Plekhanov in the last years of the nineteenth century accused the eighteenth-century philosopher Immanuel Kant of contradictions: on the one hand, Kant recognized that things-in-themselves objectively exist and their influence causes sensations, on the other hand, Kant called things-in-themselves inaccessible for the senses.

Bakhtin's transition to the sphere of aesthetics arose from his philosophical desire to find the key to overcoming the split between the world of unity (life) and the world of unity (culture). In other words, Bakhtin approaches the field of aesthetics to solve his philosophical problem, therefore aesthetics for Bakhtin is one of the subjects within a more general and broader philosophical concept. But although Bakhtin wants to reconcile these two worlds, which oppose each other, and sees the possibility of this overcoming not in the realm of one world, but in their connection, he found the path to this overcoming precisely in the only place of a specific individual.

The epistemological concept of the scheme has a long philosophical history: we may discover its roots in Neoplatonism. The scheme is different from both the concept and the percept, but at the same time it can be represented as a specific procedure of the dynamic connection of both. In contemporary cognitive science, schematization is studied at the intersection of different disciplines, such as cognitive linguistics, developmental psychology, kinesics, neurophysiology. The complexity of its study lies not only in the need to work with huge variety of materials, but also in the need to combine various philosophical and methodological perspectives, as well as in the need to take into account materials from different languages and cultures (not only European).
