This philosopher called the idea that "human action has no value other than the intention which directs it" an "incomplete solution" to the "problem of the sanctification of action," in a work that examines various human "passivities.
This philosopher called the idea that "human action has no value other than the intention which directs it" an "incomplete solution" to the "problem of the sanctification of action," in a work that examines various human "passivities." That work by this philosopher imagines the whole universe as Christ, and humans as individual cells in his body. This philosopher's ideas inspired the title of Theodosius Dobzhansky's most famous essay. This author of The Divine Milieu proposed a being that is already existing, personal, transcendent, autonomous, and irreversible as the endpoint of a fourfold sequence of (*) "galactic," "earth," "life," and "consciousness" processes, in The Phenomenon of Man. This philosopher claimed that evolution tends towards increasing complexity, creating a world-consciousness or "noosphere" at the Omega Point, which is Christ. For 10 points, name this twentieth-century French Jesuit priest, who also helped excavate Peking Man.
