Human Energy (Harvest Book)

The six major essays collected in this volume were written during the 1930s. They develop further many of the concepts central to Teilhard's thought that had appeared earlier in The Phenomenon of Man and The Divine Milieu. Much of the content of these essays is controversial, touching on such crucial topics as human sexuality, the precedence of matter by spirit, the "emergence" of God, the relation of biological to moral values in man, religion in science, the pains of personalization, and the problem of evil.
