Download or read book Teilhard De Chardin (Makers of the Modern Theological Mind) written by Doran McCarty. This book was released on 1976. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Pierre Teilhard de Chardin is one of those unusual men who fit no mold and cannot be easily labeled. A complex and brilliant thinker, he had a simple and mystical faith. A Frenchman who loved his homeland, he spent most of his life in China because he was not allowed by his superiors to teach in French. As a Jesuit priest he held views on creation and evolution considered highly suspect and unorthodox, yet he submitted humbly to his order’s prohibition against teaching or publishing during his lifetime. His profession-palaeontology-called on him to study the past, but the greater portion of his thinking and writing has to do with the future-the future of man and society. Teilhard de Chardin is one of the few modern thinkers who have tried to integrate all phenomena into one system. His first book, The Phenomenon of Man, published after his death, took the reading public by storm because of its vast sweep and bold attempt to create a complex and cosmic system from both a scientific and a Christian point of view. Doran McCarty’s treatment of Teilhard covers all the important aspects of his life and thought. Here you will find discussions of Teilhard’s views on the nature of God, the nature of man, the structure of reality, creation and evolution, democracy and totalitarianism. Here too are explanations of his unique terminology, including centreism, withinness, Christogenesis, Christophere,noosphere, the Omega Point. Dr. McCarty presents Teilhard’s ideas in more traditional terms, while still remaining faithful to the original complexity and terminology. This is especially important since Teilhard never had a chance to refine his thought against the reaction and criticism of the scholarly world. Dr. McCarty’s treatment is an excellent introduction for the person who wants to know more about Teilhard, as well as being a useful and important study of this unique and influential thinker.”- Publisher

Book Synopsis The Future of Man by : Teilhard de Chardin
Download or read book The Future of Man written by Teilhard de Chardin. This book was released on 2004-04-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 life: 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.
