Abstract
After Freud and Philosophy Ricoeur published The Conflict of Interpretations: Essays on Hermeneutics (1969), a series of papers on the hermeneutics of psychoanalysis and the hermeneutics of structuralism, in which the idea of a dialectic or a conflict between rival hermeneutics is further articulated as a philosophy. The major themes developed in the 1970s and 1980s in applying this hermeneutical view to psychoanalysis, and consequently using psychoanalysis for philosophical ends, may be summarised as four thematic lines.

Ricoeur clarifies that “before anything can be said about the role of the third term, theory, in relation to the other two terms, the relation between the investigatory procedure and the method of treatment is itself not easy to grasp. If this relation may appear to be non-problematical for a practice that is little concerned with theoretical speculation, it does raise considerable difficulties for epistemological reflection. Broadly speaking, we may say that the investigatory procedure tends to give preference to relation of meaning between mental productions, while the method of treatment tends to give preference to relations of force between systems. The function of the theory will be precisely to integrate these two aspects of psychical reality” (Ricœur 2012b, 23).
