Alain Badiou presented an idea of truth as an event that erupts into the structure of reality. It begins as a singularity that is universalized where the subject can know what is absolutely true and beyond structures. Jacques Lacan was the opposite of this position, in that he proposed a divided subject that is split between a conscious acceptance of law as truth and an unconscious drive to transgress the law. Truth becomes dependent upon the psychological perspective of the subject rather than an outside event.
