The Phenomenon of Man (1955) by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin is a philosophical-theological treatise arguing that evolution is a directed process moving toward an Omega Point—a final convergence of consciousness and spirit—synthesizing Christian eschatology with evolutionary science.
Synthesized Catholic theology with evolutionary cosmology; the Omega Point and noosphere concepts influenced transhumanism, New Age thought, and progressive theology.
No conceptual posterity found.
