Intellectual Revolution

This document discusses three major intellectual revolutions: 1) The Copernican Revolution shifted astronomy from a geocentric to a heliocentric model of the universe centered around the Sun, as proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century. 2) Charles Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection, published in On the Origin of Species, proposed that species evolve over generations through a process of inherited variation and natural selection. 3) Sigmund Freud introduced psychoanalysis and emphasized the importance of the unconscious mind on behavior. He believed the mind was composed of the id, ego, and superego.
