There are, of course, many things of which our brain is unconscious, even when they are being processed. But this is not what Schelling meant by the unconscious – the above examples are better described as nonconscious. Rather, he argued that “the events which are actually linked play out beneath our consciousness: the emerging sequence and one-after-the-other of feelings, thoughts, etc., are symptoms of the actual event!” The “actual event” is what has happened beneath our thinking, in our unconscious. The unconscious that Freud engages with is one where nothing is random, where nothing psychologically unimportant is stored. Or we might even ask, “Who?”This is a version of the homunculus fallacy, where there is a person inside a person inside a person.
