“The understanding of ourselves

and the universe in which we exist has progressed by conceptual increments from the intuitive subjective experiences of specific people. There was Copernicus who removed the human from the center of the universe and Darwin who replaced the explanation of mankind’s special creation with a biological process of evolution. Julian Jaynes’s theories for the nature of self-awareness, introspection, and consciousness have replaced the assumption of their almost ethereal uniqueness with explanations that could initiate the next change in paradigm for human thought.”
