%X Sa£¿etak Regarding scientific development, psychoanalysis has been compared to the Copernican and Darwinian revolution. Freud has added his name to the well-established comparison of Copernicus and Darwin by introducing his notion of three blows to man¡¯s narcissism, defining his discovery of psychoanalysis as the most dangerous last blow. The presentation examines the possible continuation of the series of the biggest scientific revolution in Jacques Derrida and Slavoj £¿i£¿ek. Derrida has added to Copernicus, Darwin and Freud the name of Karl Marx as the fourth, disrupting one, defining his blow ¡®in the name of the revolution¡¯ as a much worse one, putting us today as Marx¡¯s heirs in the position of debt and mourning. Derrida used the Freudian reading of Marx¡¯s blow concerning the horrors of the October revolution, Stalinism, holocaust etc., while Slavoj £¿i£¿ek ¨C also relating Freud to Marx ¨C examined the succession of Copernicus, Darwin and Freud by ¡®many others¡¯. The presentation focuses on £¿i£¿ek¡¯s idea of these ¡®many others¡¯, putting it in the context of Lacan¡¯s return to Freud and prolonging it regarding the feminist revolution. The conclusion is made that £¿i£¿ek¡¯s elaboration of Lacan¡¯s return of Freud, without and beyond the Lacanian feminist-psychoanalytic insistence on the centrality of sexual difference, can be understood as £¿i£¿ek¡¯s unfinished Copernican revolution
