CHAPTER

Philosophy of Progress and Evolution

This chapter explores Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's philosophical views on progress, contrasting continuous advancement with stagnation. It examines the dialectical tensions between traditionalism and progressivism, the implications of a teleological understanding of history, and the critiques of human nature. By connecting the ideas of Teilhard and Marx, the discussion emphasizes a vision of collective consciousness and the necessity for transformative change in societal structures.
