For what was Copernicus famous?
Copernicus changed the way the universe was though of when he presented the heliocentric theory. Until he came around, everyone thought the earth was the center of the universe. Copernicus presented the idea that the sun was, not the earth!!! It is a legend that he had a massive stroke and woke up from a loss of consciousness to see his newly published book, De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres) in his hands. He died not long after that, in May of 1543, and it was a peaceful death, for he knew that his belief had been released into the world. Copernicus did not suffer much persecution, if any, while he was alive, but his name and reputation suffered a beating after his death until it was proven right by Galileo and his new invention, the telescope. The pope did not like Copernicus' far-fetched idea, and even John Calvin and Martin Luther thought it was foolish and spoke out against it. Feeling pressure, the Catholic Church placed Copernicus' book on the forbidden list and banned its teachings in about 1650. The ban wasn't released until 1822! This is an example of how you can be persecuted for new ideas, no matter how accurate they are, but still, it could change history!

Was Copernicus persucuted by the church?
Copernicus came up with the heliocentric theory, which is the theory that the sun is the center of the universe. It is a legend that he had a massive stroke and woke up from a loss of consciousness to see his newly published book, De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres) in his hands. He died not long after that, in May of 1543, and it was a peaceful death, for he knew that his belief had been released into the world. Copernicus did not suffer much persecution, if any, while he was alive, but his name and reputation suffered a beating after his death until it was proven right by Galileo and his new invention, the telescope. The pope did not like Copernicus' far-fetched idea, and even John Calvin and Martin Luther thought it was foolish and spoke out against it. Basically, people back then, although they loved to learn, were not very open to new ideas. Feeling pressure, the Catholic Church placed Copernicus' book on the forbidden list and banned its teachings in about 1650. The ban wasn't released until 1822! This is an example of how you can be persecuted for new ideas, no matter how accurate they are, but still, it could change history!

How did Copernicus and Kepler change peoples view of the world?
They were the first 'modern' (well, medieval) scientists to come up with the "heliocentric" view of the universe: the concept that the Earth revolves around the Sun and is not the center of the Universe itself. It should be mentioned that ancient Greek scientist had already discovered that some 1,500 years earlier, but their writings had been more or less forgotten by then. Well, not quite: it was much later discovered that Copernicus referred specifically to those earlier Greek findings in the draft of his book, but left it out in the final text.

Freud compare himself to Copernicus and Darwin?
In a sense, yes. Freud saw that scientific ideas change the way we think about the world. With his heliocentric view, Copernicus displaced humans from the physical centre of the universe (1543). With his evolutionary theory, Darwin inserted humans into the organismic order of nature (1859). According to Freud, both Copernicus and Darwin dealt severe blows to the proud image of humans as masters of the universe. Freud saw himself as completing the cycle of disparagement by destroying the belief that humans were 'masters in their own house' (1916-A Difficulty in the Path of Psycho-Analysis)
