Pierre Teilhard De Chardin was one of the most distinguished thinkers and scientists of our time. He fits into no familiar category for he was at once a biologist and a paleontologist of world renown, and also a Jesuit priest. He applied his whole life, his tremendous intellect and his great spiritual faith to building a philosophy that would reconcile Christian theology with the scientific theory of evolution, to relate the facts of religious experience to those of natural science.The Phenomenon of Man, the first of his writings to appear in America, Pierre Teilhard's most important book and contains the quintessence of his thought. When published in France it was the best-selling nonfiction book of the year.

A classic work by the great Jesuit theologian and anthropologist whose writings were not allowed to be published until after his death. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was more famous after his death in 1955 than during his life when he worked as a geologist in France and in China where he was one of the discoverers of “Peking Man.” The Divine Milieu is an essential companion to Teilhard de Chardin’s The Phenomenon of Man and expands on the spiritual message so basic to his thought. He shows how man's spiritual life can become a participation in the destiny of the universe.

The Future of Man is a magnificent introduction to the thoughts and writings of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, one of the few figures in the history of the Catholic Church to achieve renown as both a scientist and a theologian. Trained as a paleontologist and ordained as a Jesuit priest, Teilhard de Chardin devoted himself to establishing the intimate, interdependent connection between science—particularly the theory of evolution—and the basic tenets of the Christian faith. At the center of his philosophy was the belief that the human species is evolving spiritually, progressing from a simple faith to higher and higher forms of consciousness, including a consciousness of God, and culminating in the ultimate understanding of humankind’s place and purpose in the universe. The Church, which would not condone his philosophical writings, refused to allow their publication during his lifetime. Written over a period of thirty years and presented here in chronological order, the essays cover the wide-ranging interests and inquiries that engaged Teilhard de Chardin throughout his intellectual and social evolution; the coming of ultra-humanity; the integral place of faith in God in the advancement of science; and the impact of scientific discoveries on traditional religious dogma. Less formal than The Phenomenon of Man and The Divine Milieu , Teilhard de Chardin’s most renowned works, The Future of Man offers a complete, fully accessible look at the genesis of ideas that continue to reverberate in both the scientific and the religious communities.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955) was a French Jesuit theologian and scientist renowned for his pioneering field work in paleontology. His visionary writings on the reconciliation of faith and evolutionary theory aroused the suspicions of the Vatican and he was forbidden to publish on religious matters during his lifetime. After his death, the publication of his many books marked him as one of the most influential Catholic thinkers of this century - a mystic whose holistic vision speaks with growing relevance to contemporary spirituality. Often considered ahead of his time, Teilhard's writings have more relevance and impact on our current times than when he was first published. "Splendid . . . Invaluable . . . One of a kind."--Mary Evelyn Tucker, Yale University

Nineteen essays concerned with the relationship of science and religion. As a believing scientist, Teilhard wrestled with the problem of presenting to the believer a scientific picture that would enlarge his religious vision and to the scientist a statement of religious ideas that would integrate with his understanding of reality. Foreword by N. M. Wildiers; Index. Translated by René Hague.A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book

The final volume of Teilhard's collected essays, containing two texts of key importance published for the first time: "The Heart of Matter" and "The Christic." Foreword by N. M. Wildiers; Index. Translated by René Hague. A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book

Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through some stages of instability— and that it may take a very long time. And so I think it is with you; your ideas mature gradually—let them grow, let them shape themselves, without undue haste. Don’t try to force them on, as though you could be today what time (that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will) will make of you tomorrow. Only God could say what this new spirit gradually forming within you will be. Give Our Lord the benefit of believing that his hand is leading you, and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete.

«Tomemos lealmente el Mundo, tal como hoy día se nos presenta a la luz de nuestra razó no el Mundo de hace cuatro mil años, encerrado en sus ocho o nueve esferas, para el que se ha escrito la teología de nuestros manuales, sino el Universo que vemos emerger orgánicamente de un tiempo y un espacio ilimitados. Despleguemos ante nosotros esta inmensidad profunda. Y tratemos de entender cómo habrá que modificar los contornos visibles de Cristo para que su figura siga ahora como en otro tiempo invadiéndolo todo, victoriosamente. Este nuevo Cristo (y no la figura anticuada que tal vez hubiéramos deseado conservar artificialmente) es quien va a ser el antiguo y el verdadero Jesús. Sí que le reconoceremos en este signo de una presencia universal» (Pierre Teilhard de Chardin).

These essays derive from Teilhard's concern to reveal the true meaning of our age and to stimulate the "sense of man and sense of the Christian."

In 1929, the noted French paleontologist and Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin met Lucile Swan, an American sculptor at a dinner party in Peking. This first evening together began a remarkable friendship that lasted for twenty-five years and was recorded in their correspondence. This volume tells their story in their own words.

Visionary theologian and evolutionary theorist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin applied his whole life, his tremendous intellect, and his great spiritual faith to building a philosophy that would reconcile religion with the scientific theory of evolution. In this timeless book, which contains the quintessence of his thought, Teilhard argues that just as living organisms sprung from inorganic matter and evolved into ever more complex thinking beings, humans are evolving toward an "omega point"—defined by Teilhard as a convergence with the Divine.

Science et Christ" Il faudrait être bien imprudent [...] pour fixer d'avance à la synthèse scientifique un point qu'elle ne dépassera jamais. [...] Notre devoir d'Hommes est d'agir comme si les limites de notre puissance n'existaient pas . Devenus, par l'existence, les collaborateurs conscients d'une Création qui se poursuit en nous pour nous mener vraisemblablement à un but [...] bien plus élevé et éloigné que nous ne pensons, nous devons aider Dieu de toutes nos forces et manipuler la matière comme si notre salut ne dépendait que de notre industrie.Je suis convaincu qu'il n'y a pas de plus puissant aliment naturel pour la vie religieuse que le contact des réalités scientifiques bien comprises [...]. Personne autant que l'Homme penché sur la Matière ne comprend combien le Christ, par son Incarnation, est intérieur au Monde, enraciné dans le Monde jusqu'au cœur de plus petit atome. "T. de Ch.Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955)Jésuite, paléontologue, il a tenté, dans une synthèse unique, de penser la place de l'homme et le sens du Christ cosmique dans l'univers en évolution.

http://archive.org/details/TheMakingO...Teilhard de Chardin's ecological theology only became famous in the 60s and 70s, long before the ecological crisis itselfwas very clear to us. Today Teilhard's pioneering work has become more and more relevant particularly to those interested in determining the moral implications of our ecological failures. While Teilhard's later work is still well known, "The Making of a Mind" shows how these thoughts developed in the mind of a young man, drafted into the trenches of World War I, who shared the seeds of these later ideas in a series of letters written to his devoted cousin. Beautifully written and translated, these letters make a great introduction to Teilhard's work and to "Hymn to the Universe" which contains the early examination of these ideas in a series of essays to which the letters refer. While Teilhard's later work is often difficult to comprehend, these earlier works create the ground on which a deeper understanding of the later work sits.

" Le choix même du titre l''indique. Rien que le Phénomène. Mais aussi tout le Phénomène. Rien que le Phénomène, d''abord. Qu''on ne cherche donc point dans ces pages une explication, mais seulement une Introduction à une explication du Monde. Etablir autour de l''Homme, choisi pour centre, un ordre cohérent entre conséquents et antécédents ; découvrir, entre éléments de l''Univers, non point un système de relations ontologiques et causales, mais une loi expérimentale de récurrence exprimant leur apparition successive au cours du Temps : voilà, et voilà simplement, ce que j''ai essayé de faire. [... ] Mais tout le Phénomène, aussi. Et voilà ce qui, sans contradiction (quoi qu''il puisse paraître) avec ce que je viens de dire, risque de donner aux vues que je suggère l''apparence d''une philosophie. [...] Comme il arrive aux méridiens à l''approche du pôle, Science, Philosophie et Religion convergent nécessairement au voisinage du Tout. Elles convergent, je dis bien ; mais sans se confondre, et sans cesser, jusqu''au bout, d''attaquer le Réel sous des angles et à des plans différents. "Extrait de l''" Avertissement ", rédigé en 1947. Le Phénomène humain, première œuvre publiée de Teilhard de Chardin, a paru seulement en 1955.
