Title: Too much nonsense
Review: Don't be expected to be blown away by the logic in this book, or the conclusions that are derived thereof. The logic gaps in much of this book are tremendous. A pantheist may find this book to be enlightening but don't expect to be convinced if you aren't already so inclined.It is not hard to understand from this book why de Chardin was censured by the Catholic Church. It is not quite as simple as the fact that he espoused evloution, as a previous review would imply. The Church does not have a problem with evolution. It does, however, have a problem with one of its priests claiming that inanimate matter possesses consciousness.There is no doubting de Chardin's intellect and genius, as well as his mystical tendencies, and it shines through rather well in this book. However, at times it seems he is either too intelligent or too mystical for his own good. In the end I was struck by the fact that large sections of this book seemed to be nothing more than intelligent sounding gibberish.
Is the review positive or negative?
