The second half of this paper, is a reflection upon the short stories of Raymond Carver’s. In short “Unheimlich” contains the claim that there is something uncanny about that which is open to view because it is open to view. Since the word “Heimlich” means “familiar” and “secret,” it suggests a fairly thick layer of connotations of the no-(longer-)secret, the disclosed, where everything is open to view, as it were. The concept of the uncanny has a particular ring to it in German.

The philosopher who most clearly have stressed that “the everyday” is something immensely difficult to get into view, is Stanley Cavell, and he has also linked the concept of the ordinary to the Freudian concept of the uncanny. In this paper, I aim to investigate this pent-up dimension of the significance of philosophical attention to the everyday. Indeed, if one looks at, for example, Austin and Wittgenstein, they both share the view that the everyday and the senses of our ordinary lives in language, are ever so difficult to bring into view, and it is precisely the failure to acknowledge these kinds of difficulties that often lead philosophers into philosophical problems and metaphysical speculation.

One of the most persistent myths about philosophies that “proceed from the ordinary” is that any kind of philosophy that emphasizes the ordinary does so in order to find true and original sense, not contaminated by “philosophy.” This is pretty much as a far as one may come from the real significance of philosophical attention to the everyday.
