Answer

It doesn't mean #1 or #2.

"a man of this time" is a phrase that means that the man carries the prevalent beliefs, prejudices and traits (good or bad) of that social or time period. It is difficult from this context to understand what the exact 'beliefs', etc the writer is referring to that Freud carried from that time. But the author is saying Freud was typical of those of his time ... in some manner.

Without more context, my guess  it is related to "his uncertainties about his own discoveries and hypotheses" in some way, as it's these words that follow.
