	Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Teilhard de Chardin, a French Jesuit priest, paleontologist and philosopher, was described by Aldous Huxley as "a very remarkable human being." Indeed.
		In this sense, while de Chardin can be considered a "humanist" by placing human kind at the center of the universe, so to speak, he did not hold to the humanistic argument (in some circles) that human beings require a separate methodological approach from the natural sciences.
		For de Chardin, the future telos of the cosmos is not impersonal, but rather a 'beyond' which is "Hyper-Personal," which he describes as the "Omega Point." The "Omega Point" can be mistakenly read as an inflation of the Personal Ego into the All, but this is simply a mis-reading of de Chardin.

		Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (May 1, 1881 – April 10, 1955) was a Jesuit palaeontologist and philosopher involved in popularising the concept of the noosphere, ceated the concept of the Omega Point, and was present at the discovery of Peking Man.
		Teilhard de Chardin was one of the last proponents of orthogenesis, the idea that evolution occurs in a directional, goal driven way.
		Teilhard thus follows the evolutionist understanding of an evolutionary progression from inanimate matter through primitive life and invertebrates to fish, amphibia, reptiles, mammals, and finally man; always an increase in consciousness.

		Teilhard de Chardin was a Jesuit scientist, philosopher, and mystic who is best remembered for the persecution he suffered at the hands of overly-cautious Church authorities in the years before Vatican II.
		Teilhard seems to have thought that because God was directing human life and history towards a consummation that was the pefection of goodness, that anyone who had a similar idea about history moving towards a climax of goodness was implicitly a Christian, building up the Kingdom of God.
		Teilhard's work in developing his version of Incarnational theology was considered very dangerous by the Catholic church and he was not able to publish during his lifetime.

		Teilhard's premise, that rocks possessed a divine force, was seen as flaky by scientists and outright heretical by the church.

	The Phenomenon of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
		Teilhard was deeply interested in and concerned about the infinitely complex that would emerge in the distant future as a spiritual synthesis, rather than occupying himself with the infinitely great and the infinitely small.
		Teilhard stressed that the process of evolution has not been a continuum: from time to time, evolution has crossed critical thresholds resulting in the uniqueness of both life over matter and thought over life; a person represents an incredible concentration of consciousness or spirit, resulting in the immortality of the human soul.
		Teilhard's hopefulness seems to have overlooked the extensive roll that extinction plays throughout organic evolution (not to mention the excessive evil in the world): those mass extinctions, that caused all the trilobites, ammonites and dinosaurs to vanish forever, should tarnish the unbridled optimism of any rigorous evolutionist.

		Teilhard felt that the spark of divine life he experienced in the Egyptian desert was a force present throughout the evolutionary process, guiding and shaping it every bit as much as the material forces described by physical science.
		Teilhard concluded that where radial energy was dominant, the evolutionary process would be characterized by the traditional scientific laws of necessity and chance.
		Teilhard wrote, "The living world is constituted by consciousness clothed in flesh and bone." He argued that the primary vehicle for increasing complexity consciousness among living organisms was the nervous system.

		Teilhard lived for a long time in the East and is often misrepresented as having a negative attitude toward the contribution of Eastern spirituality.
		Teilhard speaks of two types of mysticism and two types of pantheism which he describes in various ways, one such way being the "road of the West" and "the road of the East." This particular expression is unfortunate since the two mysticisms are not to be identified.
		For Teilhard, one of the contributions of the West to the mysticism of the future is modern science.

	Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
		Teilhard first did geological/paleontological work in China in 1923, when he was at 42 years old.
		Teilhard says that the Eastern religions are supremely universalistic and cosmic, and that his own individual faith was inevitably peculiarly sensitive to Eastern influences, but that he rejects Eastern religions because they hold that Matter is dead weight and illusion while Teilhard says that he believes that Matter is heavily loaded, throughout, with sublime potentialities.
		Therefore, I think that Teilhard may have acquired much of his views indirectly through his Chinese experience, although he probably was not told about such Cultivation Way explicitly and directly by Chinese, since Teilhard did not speak Chinese and at times felt "submerged in the mass of the Chinese people, an enormous, inert, earthbound mass".

		In 1962, the Holy Office, disconcerted by the unexpected success of Teilhard's writings, all published and translated within a couple of years, issued a monitum, or simple warning, against acceptance of his ideas.
		For Teilhard, science and religion are two approaches to the same reality, but several religious and philosophical intuitive concepts have to be adjusted and reformulated in the light of evolving science.
		Hence his conflict with his religious superiors, who considered traditional christianism as final and unquestionable, and who tried to remove him as far as possible from western intellectual life, and blocked his major publications during his lifetime.
