Fifty years after his death, the thought of the French scientist
and Jesuit Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955) continues to
inspire new ways of understanding humanity's future. Trained as a
paleontologist and philosopher, Teilhard was an innovative
synthesizer of science and religion, developing an idea of
evolution as an unfolding of material and mental worlds into an
integrated, holistic universe at what he called the Omega Point.
His books, such as the best-selling The Phenomenon of Man, have
influenced generations of ecologists, environmentalists, planners,
and others concerned with the fate of the earth. This book brings
together original essays by leading experts who reflect on
Teilhard's legacy for today's globalized world. They explore such
topics as: the idea of God and the person; quantum reality and
Teilhard's vision; spiritual resources for the future; politics and
economics; and a charter for co-evolution.
