ABSTRACT
This chapter brings into the open the uncanniness of Schelling’s uncanny in Freud’s essay, including some aspects of the uncanny ignored by Freud (as a lapsed or secular Jew), such as its birth in mythology and polytheism, and its association with the divine and monstrous (ignored by both Freud and Schelling). It also explores the uncanniness of Schelling’s uncanny in the work of some Anglophone Schellingians and some writers on Freud, psychoanalysis, the uncanny and the unconscious.
