d. Andre Breton.
Breton, leader of the Surrealist movement, argued that liberating the unconscious (through automatism, dreams, etc.) could transform art and society and thus improve civilization. Freud focused on the unconscious for understanding and treating individual neuroses and emphasized the conflict between instinctual drives and civilization rather than claiming the unconscious itself would improve civilization.
