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)
