Freud stated that his work on the subconscious was a third outrage to humanity's self-esteem (Freud & Strachey, 1977). First, Copernicus had shown that humans were not located at the center of the universe. Then, Darwin had shown that humans had not been specially created outside of the animal world. Finally, Freud showed that humans were not masters in their own mind. While there is not much scientific content to take away from Freud's work, this insight is still relevant in some sense to understand the progress of our understanding of the human mind. This progress has followed a dialectical path with opposite views replacing each other over time.
