Both the supposed death of God and the death of global communism results in a separation between truth and meaning. The facts of reality no longer become part of an absolute transcendent order that gives all of reality meaning. It is still possible to discover truth, but that truth no longer is used to explain the overall structure of the world. Truth serves a new purpose for indiviudal humans to understand reality that they are engaged in. In a way this breaking down of ideology, whether religion or communism, leaves a reality that is presented to humans as incomplete. The individual discovery of truth works through this incomplete reality.
