An interview with Thomas Berry by Jane Blewett where they talk about Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's philosophy.

Thomas speaks about the life and thinking of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881 - 1955), French Jesuit palaeontologist, thinker, writer, and mystic, whose most famous published book is "The Human Phenomenon". Thomas outlines and discusses Teilhard's three great contributions: (1) He told the story of the universe in an integral manner with four phases “Galactic, Earth, Life, Human” (2) He identified the human as a dimension of the Universe from the beginning and (3) He moved the essential Christian issue from the Redemption to the Creation.
