When understanding the revolutions in thought that occurred in the late 19th to early 20th century, Darwin, Marx and Freud were the giants who outraged, challenged and ultimately inspired their own generations and many more to come – right up to today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Darwin <\/em><\/strong>displaced humanity from the center of creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marx <\/em><\/strong>overturned the social and moral order, putting dialectic class struggle in its place. He is still upsetting people to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freud<\/em><\/strong> overthrew Cartesian dualism (the mind being Spiritual, and the body material.) This was shocking, transgressive, and seminal. Before you even get to start talking about sex and sexuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
