Summary
Uncanniness is how one is in the fundamental disposedness of anxiety (SZ) and later “the basic trait of the human essence” (GA40:160/168). In Being and Time, it appears to be an unsettled feeling produced by a breakdown in familiarity, while in later lecture courses “uncanniness” usually names a presencing that occurs by way of an absencing.
