About the Author
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955) was a Jesuit priest and paleontologist, who studied chemistry, physics, botany, and zoology and received his doctorate in geology. The author of several works of philosophy and religion, he is considered by many to be among the foremost thinkers of our time.
Customer Reviews
an autobiographical work by the Jesuit scientist...
...and evolutionary philosopher. Worth having, if only for more of the author's wonderfully intuitive insights and a rough chronology of the development of his thought. A man of spirit as well as the earth, I think he would have liked Marie-Louise von Franz's description of alchemy, a discipline akin to the Father's own pursuits: "divine power in matter."
