Desde cedo apaixonado pela terra e por Deus, seus setenta e quatro anos de vida foram dedicados à conciliação daquilo que antes ele harmonizara em si mesmo: a vocação científica e religiosa. Sacerdote e cientista, seu desejo foi ser um apóstolo de Deus no mundo, um evangelista de Cristo no universo. De modo singular ele compreendeu que o Deus buscado desde a infância em meio às pedras do Auvergne não se encontra nem aqui, nem ali, mas é universal Presença espalhada por toda a parte. E o que viu ele quis compartilhar: Deus e mundo não se opõem porque se há uma comunhão com Deus e uma comunhão com a terra, há uma comunhão com Deus pela terra. Neste trabalho acompanhamos o percurso deste grande pensador que, sem negar a criação, assumiu a evolução como fundamento de sua explicação de mundo, abrindo novos horizontes para o diálogo entre religião e ciência. O objetivo principal do trabalho foi apresentar as influências que possibilitaram a Teilhard de Chardin perceber a diafania de Deus no coração da matéria. Certamente o diálogo com as mulheres, a experiência da Primeira Guerra Mundial, a crise com a Igreja em decorrência de seu olhar novidadeiro e os anos de exílio vividos na China foram importantes para a elaboração e amadurecimento de suas ideias. Metodologicamente optamos pela leitura e análise das obras de Teilhard, bem como das cartas que ele enviava a familiares e amigos, sobretudo mulheres. Cruzamos as informações com outros estudiosos desse pensador e, finalmente, demonstramos a proposta de espiritualidade que aparece nesses escritos, uma via mística onde o encontro com Deus não é um fugir do mundo mas antes, um voltar-se para o mundo com o coração cheio de amor. / Pierre Teilhard de Chardin est né en 1881 en France et il est mort en 1955 aux États-Unis. Depuis le début amoreux de la terre et de Dieu, ses soixante quatorze années de vie ont été consacrées à concilier ce qu'avant il avait lui-même harmonisé: la vocation scientifique et la vocation religieuse. Prêtre et scientifique, son désir était d'être un apôtre de Dieu dans le monde, un évangeliste du Christ dans l'univers. De manière unique, il a compris que le Dieu recherche depuis son enfance parmi les pierres de l'Auvergne ne se trouvait ni ici ni ailleurs mais il est Présence universelle répandue partout. Et ce qu'il a vu il a voulu partager. Dieu et le monde ne s'opposent pas parce que s'il y a une communion avec Dieu et une communion avec la terre, il y a une communion avec Dieu par la terre. Dans ce travail nous avons suivi le parcours de ce grand penseur qui sans nier la création a pris l'évolution comme le fondement de son explication du monde ouvrant de nouveaux horizons au dialogue entre la religion e la science. L’objetctif principal a été de présenter les influences qui ont permis à Teilhard de Chardin d’apercevoir la diafania de Dieu dans le monde. Certainement le dialogue avec les femmes, l’expérience de la première guerre mondiale, la crise avec l’église en raison de son regard original et les années d’exil vécues en Chine ont été importants pour le développement et la maturation de ses idées. Méthodologiquement nous avons opté pour la lecture et l’analyse des oeuvres de Teilhard, ainsi que les lettres qu’il envoyait à la famille et aux amis, surtout les femmes. Nous avons croisé les informations avec d’autres chercheurs de ce penseur et, finalement, nous avons démontré la proposition de spiritualité qui apparaît dans ces écrits, une voie mystique où la rencontre avec Dieu n’est pas une évasion du monde, mais plutôt un retour vers le monde le coeur plein d’amour.

Modernity as a philosophical and intellectual movement has cultivated a perspective of humanity as separated from nature. In modernity, nature is valuable only insofar as it has instrumental value (i.e. that it may be utilized for the benefit of humanity). This study postulates that such an approach to the nature-human relationship may have led to considerable environmental damage and misuse, and that the perspective of humanity as separate from nature should be re-evaluated. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin‟s philosophy is investigated as a possible means to overcome this dichotomy. De Chardin describes varying ontologies that are embedded in the evolutionary process and against which all human relevance and action must be sketched. This differs from an evolutionistic approach, because whilst engaging with scientific discourse (which tends to be reductionist in approach), De Chardin also incorporates spiritual and religious ideas and perspectives. Furthermore, De Chardin‟s ideas differ from vague pantheism, irrationally or mystically formulated, because he engages with the terminology used in modern science and re-evaluates this terminology‟s application and conclusions in relation to his newly developed cosmology (or cosmogenesis). Several questions are central in this study: Firstly, could De Chardin‟s approach be incorporated into the natural scientific discourse? Secondly, does De Chardin‟s cosmology provide new avenues for investigation into a closer and more sustainable relationship between humanity and the natural world? In this study it is postulated that De Chardin does make a contribution to a more sustainable relationship between nature and humanity through his perspective of a holistic ontology that differs from simple mysticism and his postulation of the noosphere, which leads to a new evaluation of humanity‟s technology use. / MPhil, North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013
