Dear All&One, finally I've decided to present, as first approach to the book, the biography in the cover, the opening quote and the Acknowledgment page. I've...
Hello everyone, This is part 1 of 3. I now continue with my review of Section 1 of Chapter II of Part III of 'The Human Phenomenon'. This section deals with...
This is part 2 of 3. In terms of a zoological verticil, even though the prehominids appear to have been localized 'on the extreme border of eastern Asia',...
This is part 3 of 3. What Teilhard seems to be proposing, if I have understood him aright, is that the peduncle (or beginning) of thinking life, by way of a...
Hello John, Thanks for sending along your two posts in which you outline your thoughts on Roy Davies book, 'The Darwin Conspiracy, Origins of a Scientific...
This issue has been gestating since the seventies, and there is a notable book on the subject by Arnold Brackman, A Delicate Arrangement. Somehow the Darwin...
Hello everyone. I would again insist on arguing for the thesis that the grain of thought (reported in chapter I, part III, session (1.Ad)) is not the person...
Hello fernander35 (and all), ... I think the passage you are referring to is the following one: 'After the grain of matter, after the grain of life, here,...

Hello everyone, Flavio, at the moment, is having difficulty getting through to the list. I have agreed to forward, on his behalf, any messages he would like to...
Looking at the lecture abstracts, it looks like Teilhard is the topic of a couple of talks - one by Ludovico Galleni (Moving Towards Humankind?) and another by...
In the downloaded abstracts file it looks like the Chantraine talk is missing - perhaps it was replaced by Galleni. Do you see some other reference to...

Hmm - you might be right, I just assumed they didn't have an abstract of his lecture. Page 37 of the abstracts has the schedule for that day, and the slot for...
