Title : Man's Place in Nature - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin - book
Summary :
I have just finished a shorter work than The Human Phenomenon (banned by the Society of Jesus) and more to the point on the same subject, where I cannot see where censorship will find something to sink its teeth into, except in the fact that this perspective is completely illuminated by this faith in man of which we are so suspicious." This is how, in 1949, Father Teilhard de Chardin defined this book, The Place of Man in Nature , which nevertheless came up against ecclesiastical censorship and only appeared after his death.
To present this work of synthesis and rigor, Jean Onimus - author in the same collection as Teilhard de Chardin and the Mystery of the Earth - traces the eventful history of the great Jesuit thinker, recalls the long and painful dispute that opposed him to Rome and paints a masterful picture of the Teilhardian vision. All the fundamental elements of this prophetic thought (Anthropogenesis, Noogenesis, personalization and totalization, Omega point...) are thus clearly defined and put into perspective.
