title: [Hermeneutics or naturalism? Freud's covert theory of meaning].
abstract: Both the exclusively hermeneutic and the exclusively naturalist approach to psychoanalysis disregard essential aspects of Freud's overall achievement. His little-known Study on the Interpretation of Aphasia (1891) provides an insight into the psychologistic theory of meaning implicit in his later psychoanalytic work. A reconstruction of this theory makes it possible to pay equal regard to hermeneutic and naturalist aspects of Freud's psychoanalysis.
