ABSTRACT
It is necessary to distinguish semblance from sense. Truth demonstrates that sense and semblance are not homogeneous. This is shown in the fact that the effects of truth brought about by the analyst’s interpretation are not identical to semblance: an effect of truth makes sense to a subject and can lead to a reworking of semblance. Lacan could state that truth is the sister of jouissance tells us that the truth effects of interpretation have an impact on jouissance. If sense is what one asks of the analyst, he, however, is aware that sense is a relative of semblance, while the real is what makes a hole. It makes a hole in semblance and constitutes a limit to sense. The real of the symptom is at odds with continuity. It is a “sense-less” name for it does not participate in the One of sense. This would be the name of de-sense-y (décence).
