The Human Phenomenon: Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, 2nd Edition

• Used Book in Good Condition

A New Edition and Translation of Le phénomène humain by Sarah Appleton-Weber, with a Foreword by Brian Swimme. The Human Phenomenon by the priest, paleontologist, and geologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin is his book of the Earth, a discovery and an epic journey to open the way out for humanity in a time of world conflict and to release the spirit of the Earth. As Virgil led Dante, so Teilhard guides his reader back in space–time to experience the birth of our planet as it emprisons the human future in its globe and motion, then forward, through the emergence of life, the birth of thought and socialization, and the unique mode of human unfolding as humanity covers the whole planet in an entirely new membrane, the Noosphere.
