It has been a long time since I read Freud’s essay. My recollection is that he found in the “unheimlich” the return not just of something left behind or repressed, but in particular something familiar, and that the peculiar quality of the uncanny was that this something was recognizably known at the same time that it was unknown. This kind of knife edge balance or combination of opposites resonates for me with your central point about our need to investigate a “world . . . full of consciousness that is like yet unlike our own” It is really interesting to contemplate the possibility of a kind of balance between knowing/not knowing, recognizing/not recognizing – an acceptance of this kind of uncomfortable and productive state<br />2. It is equally long since I read Heidegger’s Being and Time, but I thought I remembered that he discussed the uncanny. Opening up the book I found this: “Uncanniness is the basic kind of Being-in-the –world, even though in an everyday way it has been covered up. Out of the depths of this kind of Being, Dasein itself, as conscience, calls.” (II.3. p. 322 Macquarrie & Robinson trans. 1962). This is in a section “Conscience as the Call of Care,” in which H discusses the struggle to understand moral conscience as emanating from another, namely, God, or alternatively to explain conscience away “biologically.” He then proceeds to analyze an in between state of confronting conscience as the self in “the very depths of its uncanniness.” P. 321. Seems maybe worth a look as you continue to flesh out this idea of understanding our relation to the environment as a sense of the uncanny.Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18378909048159389878noreply@blogger.com
