Dasein svetimybė ir slėpiningumas
On Dasein being strange and uncanny

Summary/Abstract: The author analyses the phenomenon of unheimlich (uncanny) in Heidegger’s philosophy, first, by sorting out several of its aspects such as strangeness, mystery, unhomeliness, etc., and, second, by clarifying how this phenomenon appears in and as self-awareness. The first part of the article examines the uncanniness of Dasein in Being and Time. By analysing Dasein as being-in-the-world rooted in anxiety, in contrast to fear, unsurpassable strangeness and inner alienation of Dasein are revealed. The second part of the article turns to uncanniness as elaborated by Heidegger in two later lectures, one in 1935 and the other in 1942. In both of them, Heidegger unveils the meaning of uncanniness by the hermeneutic of the myth of Antigone
