Interlevtual Revolution STS

This document discusses three major intellectual revolutions: 1) The Copernican Revolution established the heliocentric model of the solar system with the Sun at the center, challenging the geocentric view of Ptolemy. Nicolaus Copernicus developed this model. 2) Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection proposed that all life evolved over time from common ancestors through a process of natural selection. 3) Sigmund Freud developed psychoanalysis and the theory that the human mind is composed of the id, ego and superego, emphasizing the influence of the unconscious mind on behavior.
