Dmitri Nikulin is one of the few contemporary philosophers to have devoted books to the topic of dialogue and the dialogical self, especially in the last fifteen years. Yet his work on dialogue and the dialogical has received scant attention by philosophers, and this neglect has hurt the ongoing development of contemporary philosophical work on dialogicality. I want to address this lacuna in contemporary philosophical scholarship on dialogicality and suggest that, although Nikulin’s account is no doubt insightful and thought-provoking, it is problematic for two main reasons: first, his account fails to recognize the proper relationship between dialogue and agency; and second, his enumeration of the necessary and sufficient conditions for dialogue contains conceptual inconsistencies.

作为人类条件的对话：对德米特里·尼库林对话理论的批判性解释

德米特里·尼库林 (Dmitri Nikulin) 是为数不多的当代哲学家之一，他的著作专门讨论对话和对话的自我，尤其是在过去的十五年中。然而，他关于对话和对话的工作却很少受到哲学家的关注，这种忽视损害了当代对话哲学工作的持续发展。我想解决当代对话性哲学研究中的这一缺陷，并建议尽管尼库林的描述无疑是有见地和发人深省的，但主要有两个原因：首先，他的描述没有认识到对话与能动性之间的适当关系; 其次，他对对话的充分必要条件的列举存在概念上的不一致。
