Abstract | In 1920 Pierre Teilhard de Chardin called globalization the "deep-rooted religious movement of our age." He came to this awareness through his experience in World War I. There he began connecting globalization to its roots in evolution and to the mystics' desire for the "All," a desire he saw animating the work of both believing and unbelieving scientists. He found confirmation of his ideas in the letters of St Paul, who told of God eventually filling all things. Teilhard used the vocabulary of mysticism to describe global developments in technology, industry, politics, and the environment, and the ardor of his texts has led to their being widely used for secular gathering on global subjects. |
