Outline of a Dialectic of Spirit

November 26, 1946

Teilhard de Chardin explores how human understanding evolves through a dynamic interplay between the known and the unknown, like a spark leaping back and forth. He argues that the universe is driven by a rising complexity and consciousness, culminating in humanity. This progression points toward an ultimate convergence, or “Omega Point,” which he identifies with a transcendent God. Teilhard connects this cosmic evolution to Christianity, suggesting that Christ embodies this divine culmination, uniting the material and spiritual realms in a harmonious, evolving whole.
