→Jacques Lacan
The [[split]] denotes the [[impossibility]] of the [[ideal]] of a fully present [[self-consciousness]].
The [[subject]] will never [[know]] himself [[completely]], but will always be cut off from his own [[knowledge]].
It thus indicates the [[presence]] of the [[unconscious]], and is an effect of the [[signifier]].
In his [[seminar]] of 1964-5 [[Lacan]] theorises the [[split]] [[subject]] in terms of a [[division]] between [[truth]] and [[knowledge]] (''[[savoir]]'').<ref>{{Ec}} p.856)</ref>
