Sinossi
Se osservassimo il cielo stellato con l'ausilio di un telescopio e con la guida di un esperto astronomo ci invaderebbe un sentimentodi stupore. Affondare lo sguardo della mente in tutta la dimensione spazio-temporale dell'universo accompagnati da Pierre Teilhard de Chardin dona una sensazione altrettanto straordinaria. È un viaggio entusiasmante alla ricerca delle nostre più lontane origini, per individuare le tenui tracce che portano all'Uomo. E, soprattutto, per capire se l'intero moto evolutivo abbia una direzione privilegiata e miri a un ulteriore, fecondo sviluppo. Teilhard de Chardin prende in considerazione la totalità del fenomeno: non solo l'Uomo come espressione ultima della materia altamente organizzata, ma anche l'Uomo che mira a prolungare l'evoluzione nel «più essere» e nello spirituale. È una affascinante concezione unitaria dell'avventura umana inserita nell'avventura dell'universo: una visione altamente incoraggiante.

Although he was a priest, in France he is best known for his work in paleontology, when he was a curator in the Museum of Natural History in Paris. He has rendered the subject of evolution easily accessible to all, and his point of view complements that of Darwin in many ways. For example: His Chapte Leggi tutto
The dude was the first geologian.
Chardin's posthumously published masterpiece is a must read for any student of science and or/theology. Being someone primarily on the theological side of those two, there were parts of this book that were more densely scientific than I'm used to reading. Yet, even in the most technical portions of
This was great reading in the first and third parts of the book…though the middle almost killed me with its technicality. In the early 20th century, Pierre Teilhard became a forerunner in integrating evolution with a theistic worldview, but the greatest import of his work was that he took a dead-eye Leggi tutto
I've known Teilhard de Chardin's name and influence even long before I became interested in religion myself, and this book was a long time in coming. And a long time in finishing, it just didn't woo me. His prose is stronger than his argument. His science is not up to modern standards, but nor in man Leggi tutto
