He accepted evolution, deep time, fossils, and the modern scientific worldview-but he refused to accept that the universe was spiritually empty. For Teilhard, matter was not dead. Life was not an accident. Consciousness was not a meaningless byproduct. Evolution revealed the hidden direction of reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book follows Teilhard's grand vision of \u003cb\u003ecomplexity-consciousness\u003c\/b\u003e, the \u003cb\u003ewithin of things\u003c\/b\u003e, the rise of the \u003cb\u003enoosphere\u003c\/b\u003e, the meaning of \u003cb\u003econvergence\u003c\/b\u003e, and the mysterious final goal he called the \u003cb\u003eOmega Point\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong the way, Turnage connects Teilhard's thought to the larger arc of the \u003cb\u003eConsciousness \u0026amp; Reality Series\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNewton gave law.\u003cbr\u003eKepler gave harmony.\u003cbr\u003eLeibniz gave living architecture.\u003cbr\u003eSpinoza gave unity.\u003cbr\u003eSchopenhauer gave hidden depth.\u003cbr\u003eJung gave symbolic psyche.\u003cbr\u003ePauli gave mind-matter mystery.\u003cbr\u003eBohm gave wholeness.\u003cbr\u003eWhitehead gave process.\u003cbr\u003eBergson gave flow.\u003cbr\u003eTeilhard gives direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume also brings Teilhard into the modern world of artificial intelligence, global networks, digital consciousness, planetary civilization, and \u003cb\u003eConscious Computational Cosmology\u003c\/b\u003e.
