In Memory of Ernest Jones: On His Theory of Symbolism > On an Ex Post Facto Syllabary
Theoretical move: Lacan uses Jones's critique of Silberer and Jung to vindicate his own tripartite distinction of the Symbolic, Imaginary, and Real as the methodological foundation of psychoanalysis, arguing that the "true symbol" is not a figure of the concrete but a signifier marking the place of a constitutive lack, and that confusing the symbolic with the imaginary is the error that opens the door to both "hermeneuticization" and "psychologization" of psychoanalysis.
what Jones intends to ward off is the 'hermeneuticization' of psychoanalysis.
