I. Overview

A summary of the subject of intellectual revolutions includes critical historical episodes that
resulted in profound changes to human understanding and profound effects on a variety of fields
of knowledge, culture, and society. Intellectual revolutions are times of great change and invention
when assumptions are questioned, novel theories are developed, and the fundamentals of academic
fields are altered. This lesson guide 2 will explore various revolution such as Copernican
revolution, Darwinian revolution and Freudian revolution that change the way how humans see
the world.

II. Time Frame: 1 hour

revolution that influenced the emergence and reception of revolutionary ideas.
 Demonstrate critical thinking skills by analyzing the motivations, challenges, and
consequences of each intellectual revolution, considering factors that led to paradigm
shifts and evaluating the implications of revolutionary ideas.

X. Enrichment

1. Copernican Revolution
The Copernican Revolution was a pivotal moment in the history of astronomy, marking a shift
from a geocentric view of the universe, centered around Earth, to a heliocentric understanding with
the Sun at the center. This revolution, spearheaded by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century,
not only transformed astronomical thought but also laid the groundwork for the broader Scientific
Revolution. Copernicus's heliocentric theory, published in 1543, challenged the prevailing
geocentric model proposed by Ptolemy. Motivated by a desire for simplicity and harmony in the
universe, Copernicus reimagined the cosmos, placing the Sun at the center and setting Earth in
motion around it. Despite facing complexities in achieving quantitative precision, Copernicus
asserted the reality of his theory, paving the way for modern science to describe the physical world.

2. Darwinian Revolution
The Darwinian revolution was considered to be one
The publication of Charles Darwin's "Origin of Species" in 1859 marked a monumental shift in
both scientific and religious spheres, fundamentally altering approaches to biology and impacting
modern science and society. Despite initial resistance, Darwin's theories gradually gained traction
over a century, challenging religious beliefs and sparking ongoing debates. Darwin's personal life,
characterized by privilege and seclusion, shed light on his thought processes, notably his
methodical decision-making and correspondence with peers. While Darwin's contributions are
revered in scientific circles, his legacy is complex, with his name invoked for various agendas,
from eugenics to social progressivism. This ongoing societal discourse ensures Darwin's theories
remain relevant and continue to propel scientific inquiry forward, despite interpretations and
misinterpretations across different dimensions.

3. Freudian Revolution
The Freudian Revolution, also known as the birth of psychoanalysis, was a pivotal moment in the
field of psychology. Its founder, Sigmund Freud, developed a new understanding of the human
mind that challenged traditional assumptions about human behavior and experience. In this
document, we'll explore the key concepts of Freud's theory and their lasting impact on the study
of psychology.

Unconscious Mind, Freud believed that much of human behavior is driven by unconscious desires
and feelings that are buried deep within our minds. These desires could be sexual or aggressive in
nature, and they often conflict with our conscious thoughts and behaviors.

Structural Model of Personality, According to Freud, the human psyche is composed of three main
components: the id, the ego, and the superego. These three elements work together to regulate our
thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in different ways, depending on the situational context.
