The concept of the object in the Freudian psychoanalysis. The aim of this paper is to discuss and situate the definition of the concept of the object in the Freudian psychoanalysis. The main Freudian conception that conceives the drive as the original aspect of subjectivity, and the object as a secondary one, will be characterized. But another position derived from Freud will be evinced: the one that considers the object as the original aspect in subjectivity. Thus, it will be emphasized that psychoanalysis epistemological richness derives from this double position regarding the object.
