real

In psychoanalysis and philosophy, the Real is that which is the authentic, unchangeable truth. It may be considered a primordial, external dimension of experience, referred to as the infinite, absolute or noumenal, as opposed to a reality contingent on sense perception and the material order. The Real is often associated with psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, so it is considered irreducible to symbolic order of lived experience, though it may be gestured to in certain cases, such as the experience of the sublime.
