Abstract:

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was one of the most significant scientific and religious thinkers of the twentieth century. In his masterful work, The Human Phenomenon, he developed a unified vision of matter and spirit evolving over time toward great complexity and consciousness. This evolutionary framework provides a comprehensive and integrated perspective to view the interdependence of all life forms and the important role of humans as co-creators in the evolutionary process.
