Pierre Teilhard de Chardin Books
May 1, 1881 – April 10, 1955
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was a French Jesuit, paleontologist, biologist, and philosopher, whose work sought to integrate religious experience with natural science, particularly Christian theology with evolutionary theories. He was captivated by the possibilities for humankind, which he saw as heading toward an exciting convergence, an "Omega point" where the coalescence of consciousness would lead to a new state of peace and planetary unity. Long before ecology was fashionable, he perceived this unity as intrinsically based on the spirit of the Earth. His thought explores the intersection of spirituality and scientific advancement.
A translation of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's spiritual masterpiece, The Divine Milieu. It addresses those who have lost faith in conventional religion but who still have a sense of the divine at the heart of the cosmos.
