Teilhard de Chardin and Our Time

by Amal Kiran (K. D. Sethna)

This book starts with comparative studies of Roman Catholicism, the scientific-spiritual philosophy of the Jesuit priest and palaeontologist, Teilhard de Chardin, and Pantheism with which Teilhard has been linked.

The author concludes after analysing Teihardism from all possible angles that it is "rather akin to the ancient comprehensive Vedanta of the early Upanishads" and that when "that Vedanta as revived in the Bhagavad Gita" is "modernised", "by setting it in the context of Evolutionism, with many of whose religious overtones it will be in tune, ... you have the prototype of the full world-view of Teilhard".
