Sažetak
The article argues on behalf of the cultural theory understanding of psychoanalysis which enables reflection on psychoanalytic formation of concepts and theories, as well as its rich, albeit contradictory history of reception. The notion of drive, essential for psychoanalysis, is being conceptualised by Freud through their vicissitudes, which makes the individual biological framework broken. On the other hand, the Freudian notion of culture is grounded in a strikingly reduced individualistic fashion. Tensions of another kind have marked the history of reception of psychoanalysis, in which it was understood either as a mere myth, or as a unique science. A similar contradiction is found in the scientistic misconception of psychoanalysis (Habermas). This pattern of conflict is multiplied in interpretations of psychoanalysis that uncover its suppressed biologism (Sulloway), where they on their part conceal hermeneutical and social theory interpretations.
