The Cosmic Vision of Teilhard de Chardin with John Haught

Teilhard’s cosmic vision still offers a rich setting for our understanding not only of life, but also of mind, morality, and religion.

This webinar brings out the theological distinctiveness of Teilhard’s vision of life by contrasting it with traditional pre-scientific theologies of life on the one hand and contemporary naturalist/materialist interpretations of life and its evolution on the other. Drawing on his two forthcoming books, The Cosmic Vision of Teilhard de Chardin (Orbis, December 2021) and God after Einstein (Yale, March 2022), John Haught argues that Teilhard’s cosmic vision still offers a rich setting, both intellectually and theologically, for our understanding not only of life, but also of mind, morality, and religion.
