Teilhard de Chardin On Love: Evolving Human Relationships

by Louis M. Savary, Patricia H. Berne, Ilia Delio

The authors offer a "first" summary of Teilhard's thoughts on love, a central element in his evolutionary spirituality, presented in accessible language for the ordinary reader. They explore the implications of Teilhard's evolutionary perspective on love as it affects friendships, marriages, parent-child relationships, and teams (larger groups).

I walked into reading this already knowing a little about Teilhard--his background as a paleontologist and Jesuit priest is fascinating. I got to learn more about his expansive philosophies about love and its concentric applications, his thoughts on potential of loving thoughts and acts (whether they are rooted in a religious tradition or not) to add to this larger, dynamic, cosmic good--all of which made for an enjoyable and meaningful read.

Eight kinds of love. Love as energy. These interpreters of the great mind Teilhard de Chardin are very provocative and I enjoyed perusing this book, though not really reading it word for word. Keen ideas.

The meat of the content is fine, very good even, but it would work much better as a 25 page article instead of a 250 page book.

I’m certainly more interested in reading more Teilhard, but will probably just go straight to the man himself.
