Absztrakt (kivonat)

The traditional and most common interpretation of metaphor is based on the simple opposition of literal versus figurative sense. This dichotomy is also considered alternative and the terms logically disjunctive. The theory of „reconstruction" relies on these and supposes that a text always offers enought proof for deciding which alternative to choose. In the theory of „deconstruction" the above problems do not appear only as a consequence of oversimplification. Interpretation is essentially so manifold that it is hardly more than accidental Origen set up a trichotomy of interpretation when writing on somatic, psychic and pneumatic senses. Though one may dispute what he meant by these terms, one cannot ab ovo reject the advantage of it in practice and in relation to the traditional and structuralist dichotomy and to the vague freedom of deconstruction. Whereas the present author ascribes meanings to Origen's terms, which this way cover the problem-field of theories mentioned, the main point is that origen excluded disjunction from interpretation. He thought that the three senses are always together, are inseparable, yet never confused. Thus some twentieth century opinions on the interpretation of metaphor (e.g. interaction theory) seem to be very close to Origen. At the same time his ideas may launch and stimulate new researches to come.
